The SF State Emergency Operations Center is the central coordination point for emergency management coordination. Its purpose is to provide a location to collect and disseminate information, to provide a university-wide “common operating picture” of SF State’s response activities, and to facilitate actions necessary to protect the students, faculty, staff, visitors, affiliates and property of SF State during a university-wide event. Coordinating emergency response is accomplished utilizing the Incident Command System.
The EOC provides space and facilities for the centralized coordination of emergency functions (e.g., emergency operations, communications and warning, damage assessment, public information).
The EOC is staffed with designated SF State personnel who are offered specialized training and development and is equipped with a variety of systems and tools that aid in data collection and sharing, resource allocation, and other critical functions.
The EOC exchanges disaster information with campus Departmental Operations Centers (DOC), the City and County of San Francisco (CCSF) EOC, and other governmental and nongovernmental agencies in order to develop a comprehensive situational analysis and incident action plan.
The EOC may also send a liaison to serve in CCSF’s Multi-Agency Coordination Center (MACC) as described in NIMS, thereby ensuring that all response systems are interconnected and complementary rather than duplicative.
