It gives me a great pleasure to invite you to the forth coming international conference on EOC which the RESPECT is exited to be hosting in knowledge collaboration with Illinois Fire Institute (USA) on Feb 14-15, 2011 in India. Emergency Operations Center (EOC) & Disaster Response Operations conference 2011, seeks to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in EOC design, development, operation and management.
Emergency Operations Center (EOC) & Disaster Response Operations conference is an unique event and opportunity designed to strengthen over all Emergency Response Management by using robust EOC mechanism which works as “universal interface” connecting resources i.e. – information/data base, event inputs, technology, experts, practitioners, inventory, service, OEMs and product suppliers together at one place during emergency management. The International EOC conference offers opportunity to understand intricacies of "unified and coordinated" national approach to "incident management" involving multiple agencies through state-of-the-art EOCs.
It is crucial for “State Disaster Management Agencies” to understand emergency operational center’s functional and operational requirements for planning, designing and augmenting effective EOC infrastructure which can be integrated at upstream with National resources and at down stream with district and local resources.
A preliminary program can be found at www.respect.org.in . The EOC 2011 program presents peer-reviewed papers that address major aspects of EOC – functions, operations and technologies. The conference also features keynote speech and invited talks given by leaders of the research community.
