District Emergency Operation Centres

Emergency Operation Center plays a vital role in the Emergency Operation activation as it coordinates the flow of information with respect to activities associated with relief and rescue operations. During any disaster emergencies or crisis situation, immediate first response has to be from the District Disaster Management Administration (DDMA). Hence it is necessary to ensure that District EOCs are strengthened with a fully functional DEOC building, well equipped with all necessary emergency management systems to have effective coordination with the State EOC as well as other local level functionaries.
