-
An Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is a physical location designed to support emergency response, business continuity and crisis communications activities. LAUSD staff meets at the EOC to manage preparations for an impending event or manage the response to an ongoing incident. By gathering the decision makers together and supplying them with the most current information, better decisions can be made. The District maintains a primary EOC and three back-up facilities located in different parts of the school district. The EOC supports the following incident management functions:
Activation -Bring knowledge and expertise together to deal with events that threaten schools, students, and District operations
Situation Analysis -Gather information to determine what is happening and to identify potential impacts
Incident Briefing - Efficiently share information among team members
Incident Action Plan - Provide a single point for decision-making and decide on a course of action for the current situation
Resource Management - Provide a single point of contact to identify, procure and allocate resources
Incident Management -Monitor actions, capture event data and adjust strategies as needed
An EOC is not an on-scene incident command post (ICP) - where the focus is on tactics to deal with the immediate situation. An EOC is used to support on-scene activities through the prioritization of activities, gathering and disseminating information, and the allocation of available resources.
IS-2200 Basic Emergency Operations Center Functions* (Replaces IS 775 EOC Operations and Management) This free FEMA online course describes the role, design, and functions of Emergency Operations Centers and their relationships as components of a multi-agency coordination system. The course contains disaster-related examples, activities and case studies that relate to EOC's and multi-agency coordination systems at the local, state and federal levels of government. Each lesson in the web-based course has a printable version available as an additional resource.It is best to take the IS 100, 200, 700, and 800 courses* (linked on the STEPS website) before taking the EOC course.*All FEMA courses require a FEMA Student ID (FEMA SID) number, which must be applied for by the individual here. Please do not contact anyone in LAUSD regarding your FEMA SID number.LAUSD EOC ResourcesA Link to LAUSD EOC Sharepoint site for LAUSD EOC Responders is available here for your convenience.LAUSD EOP Handbook for Emergency Operations Center Responders
- NOAA Radios and Weather Alerts
-
Did your NOAA weather radio sound an alert?
Check the National Weather Service severe weather summary page for Los Angeles to see if your school is within the impacted area.
Most cities in Los Angeles County have an emergency alert system. Find your local emergency alert system here and sign up for your community.
NOAA Hazard Alerts
Schools can stay updated on local weather conditions through the National Weather Service at www.weather.gov. Access the local forecast by entering location information into the appropriate box in the left-hand column of the National Weather Service home page.
Know Weather Alert Lingo- Watch: Conditions are favorable for an event; usually covers a large area and time frame.
- Advisory: Conditions are likely to occur but will not be severe enough to prompt a warning.
- Warning: An event is already occurring or is likely to occur immediately. Warnings are only issued for severe events that threaten life safety.
Using Your NOAA All-Hazards Alert Radio:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a nationwide network of radio stations that broadcast National Weather Service alerts and other hazard information, such as hazardous materials spills and Amber Alerts. Alerts can also be generated by federal or state events, such as a terrorist attack. NOAA alerts are a key notification system for receiving timely information about weather emergencies and other potential hazards. In the event of an emergency, schools are to follow the directions in the Integrated Safe School Plan and consult their Local District for additional guidance and support. Always act to limit student and staff exposure to hazardous conditions.
All LAUSD schools were provided with a Midland WR300 NOAA All-Hazards Alert Radio in February 2016 to help keep students and staff members safe during weather emergencies. The radio will emit a tone for weather events throughout LA County once the county Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) code is entered into the radio.The SAME code for Los Angeles County is 006037 and the frequency is channel 7 on the weather radio.Tips for Schools:- Radios should be set up in the main office.
- Radios should be kept on at all times.
- Program the radio for Los Angeles County ONLY.
- Add the NOAA weather radio to your annual ITD radio inventory.
