PROJECT NARRATIVE
EOC Computers /Laptops
This project will enable Operational Area emergency managers to fully leverage data
communication capabilities and sharing of critical information in their EOCs. Computers
support response and mitigation during emergencies and disasters via common operating
picture and resource management web based programs such as Web EOC, HSIN,
COPLinks, Mutualink, etc.
Proposed laptops will increase the ability for first responders and emergency managers to
effectively collect and provide information and data throughout the operational area and
region. In addition they enhance local emergency managers' abilities to respond to and
mitigate the emergency or disaster.
Eligibility of Operational Area jurisdictions for this funding is based on the following criteria:
