This document provides an overview of a basic training for an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The training covers the emergency management architecture from the federal to local level and the role of the EOC during emergencies. It reviews tools and procedures for information management, situational awareness, and mission management in the EOC. The agenda includes introductions, an emergency management overview, the EOC operational concept, and federal emergency response. Exercises on these topics include a tabletop on responding to a tornado and an after action review. The goal is for participants to better understand EOC operations and how to effectively coordinate response efforts.
Great training tool and resource available through the Justice Institute of British Columbia. They can customize it with your own logo and emergency plan specifications. Contact Darren Blackburn through LInkedIn.
The second component of an SMS, is Safety Risk Management. We’ve already seen the five major elements of SRM, let’s see how they work in detail.
The objective of an SMS is to provide a structured management system to enable us to make decisions on controlling risk in our operations.
Once hazards are identified and their related risks analyzed, an organization can focus its resources on eliminating or mitigating those hazards that pose the greatest risk.
This is what SRM helps us to do.
The Incident Command System (ICS) is a model for command, control, and coordination of emergency response at the site level.
ICS is “Organized Common Sense”

Virtual Operations Support Teams - The Basics
Social media and social networking are rapidly growing forms of communication and social media is becoming an integral part of disaster response. It's shaping how crises are communicated and responses are coordinated and Emergency Managers need to consider the ongoing resource implications of engaging in social media.
Emergency Managers need to ensure that staff receive appropriate training in both the use of the social media tools and policies associated with their use. Emergency Managers will also have to make sure staff have enough time to validate social media content, push quality and timely information, monitor, moderate, respond to comments, archive and communicate actionable intelligence to decision makers.
What resources does your agency have to commit to the effort?
An innovative solution regarding these resourcing challenges is the development of a Virtual Operations Support Team (VOST).
Virtual Operations Support (VOS) for emergency management and disaster recovery makes use of new communication technologies and social media tools (free and paid for dependent on VOST).
A team of trained agents provide support via the internet to those on-site who may otherwise be overwhelmed by the volume of data generated during a disaster.
VOS Teams (VOST) are activated to perform specific functions in support of affected organizations & jurisdictions. Each VOST has a Team Leader that reports directly to the affected organization/ jurisdiction.
Additional VOSTs may be established and activated to coordinate the work and maintain an effective span of control.
Disclaimer: This presentation is a conceptual description and may vary and be subject to change as per emergency management agency requirements.

Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.

Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

the managerial function
charged with creating the
framework within which
communities reduce
vulnerability to hazards
and cope with disasters.
15. Vision of Emergency Management…
Emergency Management seeks to promote
safer, less vulnerable
communities with
the capacity to cope
with hazards and
disasters.
16. Principles of Emergency Management
We accomplish our mission by being:
Comprehensive
Progressive
Risk Driven
Integrated
Collaborative
Coordinated
Flexible
Professional
17. Ashtabula County EMA Mission
The mission of Ashtabula County Emergency
Management is to utilize effective planning,
training, exercise and coordination to
continually develop the mitigation,
preparedness, response and recovery
capabilities for our county, cities, villages and
townships for emergencies resulting from all
hazards.
19. EOC and NIMS
Multiagency coordination is a process that allows all
levels of government and all disciplines to work
together more efficiently and effectively.
MACS includes a combination of facilities,
equipment, personnel, and procedures integrated
into a common system with responsibility for
coordination of resources and support to
emergency operations.
20. EOC and NIMS
• Local EOCs are the physical locations where
multiagency coordination typically occurs and
where a variety of local coordinating structures
come together to solve problems.
• EOCs help form a common operating picture of
the incident, relieve on-scene command of the
burden of external coordination, and secure
additional resources to help meet response
requirements.
21. Ashtabula County EOC
• The local incident command structure directs
on-scene incident management activities and
maintains command and control of on-scene
incident operations.
• Local EOCs ensure that responders have the
resources they need to conduct response
activities.
22. EOC Positions, Roles and
Responsibilities
Executive Group
County Commissioners
EMA Director
Sheriff
Operations Coordinator
Group makes Policy decisions. Group issues public protective
action decisions. Group declares State of Emergency
23. EOC Positions, Roles and
Responsibilities
Communications Group
Amateur Radio
Communication Officer
Message Controller
PIO
PIO Liaison
Public Inquiry
Status Board
Group is all about communicating. Internally, Externally.
Inbound, Outbound. All public facing resources MUST be
approved by executive group PRIOR to release.
24. EOC Positions, Roles and
Responsibilities
Operations Group
American Red Cross Law Enforcement Coordinator
Department of Job and Family Services Ohio National Guard
EOC Support Staff OSU Ag Extension Agent
Fire/EMS Coordinator Radiological Officer
Health District School Services Representative
Transportation Officer
This group fields requests for resources from the field
(“missions”). Information that comes into these
positions forms the common operating picture(COP).
25. EOC Operational Concept Overview
The focus of a jurisdiction’s operational planning
effort is the Emergency Operations Plan(EOP). EOPs
are plans that define the scope of preparedness and
emergency management activities for a jurisdiction.
Currently Ashtabula County has developed their
plan using the Traditional Functional Format.
The traditional functional format has three major
sections: the basic plan, functional annexes, and
hazard-specific annexes.
26. EOC Operational Concept Overview
In the past, a large portion of Ashtabula
County’s Operational Concept focused on
operations in response to an accident at the
Perry Nuclear Power Plant.
While maintaining the high capabilities
developed for PNPP, the Ashtabula County EOP
is becoming more all hazard and Emergency
Support Function(ESF) focused.
27. EOC Information Management
Concept Overview
Information is managed using a software
package known as Knowledge Center.
This software is capable of situational
awareness, resource management and mission
requests.
Paper copies of EOP and SOG documents are
maintained as back ups to the electronic
versions.
29. National Response Framework (NRF)
• The National Response Framework (NRF) is a
guide to how the Nation responds to all types
of disasters and emergencies.
• Response activities take place immediately
before, during, and in the first few days after
a major or catastrophic disaster.
30. National Response Framework (NRF)
• The Response Framework covers the
capabilities necessary to save lives, protect
property and the environment, and meet
basic human needs after an incident has
occurred.
• The NRF was updated in 2013.
36. NRF Incident Annexes address the following
contingencies or hazards:
• Biological Incident
• Catastrophic Incident
• Cyber Incident
• Food and Agriculture Incident
• Mass Evacuation Incident
• Nuclear/Radiological Incident
• Terrorism Incident Law Enforcement and Investigation.
37. National Incident Management System
(NIMS)
• Comprehensive.
• All hazards.
• A common operating picture and interoperability
of communications and information management.
• Standardized resource management procedures
for coordination among different jurisdictions and
organizations.
• Scalable and applicable for all incidents.
38. Benefit of NIMS
• Enhances organizational and technological
interoperability and cooperation.
• Promotes all-hazards preparedness.
• Enables a wide variety of organizations to
participate.
• Institutionalizes professional emergency
management/incident response practices.
• Scalable and applicable for all incidents.
39. What NIMS is NOT
• A response plan.
• Only used during large-scale incidents.
• Only applicable to certain emergency
management/incident response personnel.
• Only the Incident Command System (ICS) or
an organizational chart.
41. Standardized Reporting Mechanisms
Information is reported using standard forms.
Incident Command Forms
Knowledge Center Forms
Plain, Common terminology used. NO CODES.
Regular known frequency
43. Information Flow and Distribution
Flow:
Can flow in all directions.
Distribution:
Information needs to be shared with
appropriate groups. Information must be
vetted and approved before release to the
public.
44. Communications Systems
Radio:
Multi-Agency Radio Communication System (MARCS)
VHF
Amateur
Phone:
Commercial Public
Cellular
5-Way Dedicated Line
Executive Discussion Line (EDL) Conference Call
Iridium Satellite Phone
Electronic:
Knowledge Center
Skype
Twitter
Facebook
45. Information Sharing Bottom Line
Timely, focused and accurate
information sharing is essential for
establishing, maintaining, improving
& promoting situational awareness
and achieving operational success.
47. This applies to both you as an
individual and the entire EOC as a TEAM!!!!!
What is it?
“knowing what is going on around you in a complex,
dynamic environment so you can figure out what to
do and how information, events, and one's own
actions will impact goals and objectives, both
immediately and in the near future.”
48. Situational Awareness as a TEAM
The success or failure of a team depends on the
success or failure of each of its team members. If any
one of the team members has poor SA, it can lead to a
critical error in performance that can undermine the
success of the entire team. By this definition, each
team member needs to have a high level of SA.
It is not sufficient for one member of the team to be
aware of critical information if the team member who
needs that information is not aware.
49. Common Operating Picture (COP)
• A common operating picture is established and
maintained by gathering, collating, synthesizing,
and disseminating incident information to all
appropriate parties.
• Achieving a common operating picture allows on-
scene and off-scene personnel to have the same
information about the incident
51. What is it?
It is what the EOC does…if it is to be successful.
• the processes, procedures, techniques and tools
employed by the EOC to receive, analyze, assign and
track internal and external request for
assistance/information, the effort which results in
providing the right support at the right time and
place, essential for mission success.
52. How do we do it?
• Knowledge Center provides an integrated, web-
based system for sharing of critical information
internal & external to the EOC.
• This tool supports the accomplishment of all EOC
core competencies.
53. Why do we do it?
• Timely and accurate Mission Management is vital to
overall mission success.
• The EOC is the direct link and conduit between the
State Emergency Management Agency (Ohio EMA),
interagency mission partners and the First
Responder units providing direct support to the
citizens.
68. Hostile Action Based Incident
(HAB)
Differences
• Incident Command System (ICS) is used by first
responders
• Incident Command may have protective actions
outside of the county protective actions
• There may be no radiological release associated
with the incident
• News releases must be approved by the ICP
69.
