Command Post

COMMAND POST (EOC)


The incident commander and others holding administrative positions, such as communications, planning and administration, work at the command post.

 The Command Post should be easily identifiable to everyone, with some identifier for the Command Post and Incident Commander. The incident commander is to stay in one place.


 The Command Post containing the incident commander and many of the response positions, should be physically separated from response activity and student care in a quiet and secure area to limit access to the commander and leave the commander free to think, plan and absorb incoming information.

 The command post should have shelter, tables and chairs and can be cordoned off using cones and caution tape.
