EOC Operation

Upon activation of our EOC 24-hours a day, assigned staff work 12 hour shifts with two staff members trained to work each position. Several briefings with EOC staff are held each Operational Period. During each EOC briefing, staff coordinates information and sets priorities for mitigating the situation and returning the city to normal operations.

Communications and coordination occurs between the Incident Commander(s) and the EOC. Moreno Valley EOC staff will also communicate and coordinate with the Riverside County Operational Area EOC and other EOCs within Riverside County.
