WebEOC

• What is WebEOC?
• WebEOC was the first browser-based Crisis
  Information Management System (CIMS)
• A CIMS tool typically allows an agency to
  communicate, track, and manage event related data
  from multiple locations in real-time to create a
  common operating picture of the overall event
• WebEOC is a tool that can be used to build and
  implement any information process flow
• Examples of typical WebEOC processes include
  Event Reporting, Requests for Assistance,
  Mission/Task Tracking, Situation Reporting, News
  Releases, and Specialized/Categorical Reporting
  (Shelters, Roads/Bridges, Resource Management,
  etc.)
