Emergency Operations Center
 The
UH Department of Public Safety has its own Emergency Operation
Center. The Emergency Management Bureau of the UH Department of
Public Safety has been working for many months to assemble the
new Emergency Operations Center (UHEOC). The UHEOC will be ready
anytime an emergency situation occurs that impacts the campus
community.
Joe S. Mendez, Emergency Management Director, was instrumental
in the design of the new UHEOC. He not only wanted to ensure
that all emergency situations could be handled within this room,
but that the Virtual Patrol Room would be incorporated into the
design.
�Our vision is to create a virtual UHEOC concept, where center
participants can share information, make decisions, and deploy
resources without the requirements to be physically present in
the center and this is a first step in the right direction,�
commented Mendez.
While an Emergency Operations Center can be anywhere the
emergency operations team is located, it is helpful to have a
location to which they can come that is fully equipped.
