Santa Fe County Office of Emergency Management is currently designing and building the County's first ever stand alone Emergency Operations Center.
An Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is a centralized facility where government agencies and partners coordinate response and recovery efforts during disasters or major incidents. It streamlines communication, resource deployment, and decision-making, ensuring a unified and efficient response. For Santa Fe County and its residents, an EOC enhances public safety by reducing response times, improving situational awareness, and supporting faster recovery. Ultimately, it helps protect lives, property, and essential services when large disasters or larger incidents occur.
This space is also going to be a training facility for our response, and emergency management partners, both internally and externally. Local, State and Federal, gaining additional knowledge and skills, but also cultivating those important relationships before a disaster strikes.
