Notes:

EOC stands for Emergency Operations Center. Day-to-day operations are conducted from departments and agencies that are widely dispersed throughout the City. When a major emergency or disaster strikes, centralized emergency management is needed. This facilitates a coordinated response by the City Manager, Office of Emergency Management staff and representatives from City and non-City organizations who are assigned specific emergency management responsibilities.

The EOC operates under the nationally-recognized Incident Management System (IMS). An EOC provides a central location of authority and information and allows for face-to-face coordination among personnel who must make emergency decisions. The following functions are among those performed in the City of Corpus Christi's EOC:
