The EOC performs these tasks by communicating across departments, agencies and jurisdictions to relieve on -scene command of the burden of external coordination, resource allocation, and information collection, verification, and dissemination. The decisions made through the EOC are designed to be broad in scope and offer guidance on overall priorities. The EOC is operated by City staff and others that are specially trained to perform their ICS position roles in emergency management. They provide support to ICs and DOCS, conduct public notification and warning, provide incident emergency and public communications, and manage resource coordination. The EOC facility has specialized equipment, information systems, and various tools that support conducting City-wide emergency response operations. The EOC does not directly manage or command incidents. Field level emergency responders, such as the Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments are managed by on -scene ICs. The role of the EOC is to collect, validate and organize incident information and to provide for the overall coordination of resources required during response and recovery operations. Tasks performed by the EOC and processes to complete them are more fully described in Appendix C, EOC Operations and Detailed Position Checklists.
