<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.<br>
<br>
A "portable" EOC can, and often is set up near a disaster site.<br>
<br>
So, Lettuce Bee sure we don't get so tied up with one "type" of
EOC that we neglect many of them.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

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