Building a new Emergency Operations Center (EOC) or renovating an existing facility can take years of work. So, what do you do when your current EOC is suddenly shut down? When the City of Anaheim’s Emergency Management team was faced with this question, the solution was relocating to a temporary site for one to two years until a permanent location is available. This presentation will review the challenges associated with the sudden closure of an EOC, as well as the strategies and lessons learned on modifying an existing space to accommodate and support safe emergency operations.
