WEBEOC TRAINING ENHANCES EMERGENCY RESPONSE COORDINATION City staff assigned to support the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) participated in WebEOC training led by Richard Williams, Battalion Chief/Emergency Manager, at the city’s new Emergency Operations Center in Fire Station No. 1 Headquarters. The training strengthened staff proficiency with WebEOC, the incident management system used during emergency activations.
