Citywide Coordination
About the EOC
The City of Moreno Valley Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is a centralized location for Citywide communication and coordination across departments and disciplines.
The EOC coordinates response efforts with first responders in the field and ensures City resources are assigned and tracked. Activities such as disaster care and shelter, animal evacuations, road conditions, and much more are all coordinated within the EOC.
City of Moreno Valley Emergency Operations Center (EOC) staff are organized around the five Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) functions and the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
How the EOC Works
EOC Operation
At minimum, two City personnel are trained to fill each EOC position, with most having three trained personnel. There are currently 52 positions identified to staff and support EOC operations.
EOC personnel coordinate emergency response elements with first responders and all departments to ensure a comprehensive response. The goal of the EOC is to ensure continuity of operations, continuity of government, and ultimately to return the City to day-to-day operations as quickly as possible. Responders include all departments, including senior leadership. The EOC is organized within the five SEMS functions: Management, Operations, Logistics, Finance & Administration, and Planning & Intelligence.
