Create an Emergency Operations Center Fire Management Plan

An Emergency Operations Center is the physical location at which agencies coordinate information and resources to support incident management (on-scene operations).

Create your custom Plan for an Emergency Operations Center by using the existing Map, Pins and Resources, or create your own Maps and Pins to fit your needs.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER FIRE MANAGEMENT MAPS AND RESOURCES

Maps and Pins: When creating your Plans, you will select a Map. A Map is similar to a template and each Map has a collection of Pins to meet an objective. Pins are action points that are placed on a geographic location. Community Partner Agencies, such as Fire and Law Enforcement, can be assigned to a Pin, and supplemental information can be included. Custom Maps and custom Pins can easily be created to fit your needs. To learn more, visit the Create and Manage Maps article and the Create and Manage Pins article.
