Emergency Operations Center

About

The protection of residents and businesses is a high priority for the Town of Paradise, and one way the Town meets that responsibility is through the Paradise Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The EOC is activated in the event of a serious or life threatening emergency, such as a fire threat or severe winter storm. The EOC consists of employees and volunteers that work day and night to protect the Town during an emergency situation.

The effort includes:

• operation of emergency shelters and warming/cooling centers
• public and media information
• food and lodging for emergency workers
• sand bags and other pertinent supplies needed by citizens and businesses
• traffic control and evacuations
• other Town/County/State agency coordination
