Business Emergency Operations Centers:
Emerging Roles and Capacities of Government and Universities in Disaster
This session explores the business emergency operations center (B-EOC). The B-EOC will work together with businesses, state, and local governments to identify gaps in regional preparedness and response capability, and then work together to fill those needs. The B-EOC will study, identify, document and apply best practices found in the field of public/private partnerships, guide the process of identifying business resources and personnel that can be made available during an emergency to state and local first responders, and educate and facilitate the incorporation of businesses as an integral part of public emergency planning and exercises.
