    <p>There are Emergency Operating Centers in Red Cross Facilities, in
      Salvation Army Facilities, in Municipal, County, and State
      Facilities, and in some private facilities.

      A "portable" EOC can, and often is set up near a disaster site.

      So, Lettuce Bee sure we don't get so tied up with one "type" of
      EOC that we neglect many of them.

      For Eggzample, in Hamilton County, the County has an EOC, and Red
      Cross has an EOC.  Similarly, if, on the very, very, very rare
      situation that a wide spread communications emergency were to
      occur in Kent County, the county EOC, within the Sheriff's office,
      would be used, as would  those in the Red Cross, and probably the
      Salvation Army.

In our case then, it would appear the Red Cross qualifies.

        To count as an EOC for Field Day or MiQP, the operation must
        take place from a facility the had been designated as an EOC. 

        While it would seem logical that a Red Cross center could be an
        EOC, but being the former doesn't necessarily make it the
        latter.

        I think it is against the intent of the FD rules to simply
        declare any old building to be an EOC. I think EOCs are
        identified by the local ARES authorities for that county.

        Of course the OhQP leadership have the prerogative to define
        EOCs any way they see fit, at the risk of making the catagory
        ludicrous...
