After an attack, who does the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) communicate damage instructions to?

The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) plays a crucial role in coordinating response efforts during and after an incident. It collects and disseminates crucial information about the state of the emergency, including damage assessments and instructions regarding the necessary response actions.

In this context, the EOC communicates damage instructions primarily to the Appropriate Damage Assessment Teams (ADAT). These teams are tasked with evaluating the extent of damage caused by the incident and providing necessary reports that inform response and recovery efforts. By directing instructions to ADAT, the EOC ensures that specialized teams focused on assessing and addressing the damage can efficiently gather data and implement recovery strategies.

Effective communication with ADAT is essential to mobilize the right resources and support timely decision-making in disaster management. Their assessments can influence both immediate response actions and long-term recovery planning. The interaction between the EOC and ADAT is critical to an organized and effective recovery process.
