The organizational structure is based on four primary functional areas. They are, command, operations, planning and logistics. Initially, the EOC Director will be the senior on site NASA Ames executive. The EOC Operations Chief is responsible for command oversight of all field operations. Scene Command is provided by the senior on site response specialist that has jurisdiction.
Planning supports command by providing long range planning.
Logistics provides support to operations. The EOC utilizes a comprehensive computerized emergency management system. It supports all four phases of emergency management Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. The EOC currently has 10 networked PCs for this purpose.
