EXERCISE: State Emergency Operations Center Activated for Blizzard Support

The State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) activated at a Level III at 8 a.m. to support local jurisdictions due to statewide blizzard conditions.

The State EOC establishes and maintains situational awareness through direct contact with local jurisdictions and other response agencies. The State is prepared to provide resources to local jurisdictions upon request through proper process in an effort to conduct a coordinated State -level response.  We are prepared to initiate State - level response for incidents or events outside of impacted areas and continues to monitor weather conditions across the State / FEMA Region.


Level III

The State EOC will be initially staffed using available DHSEM personnel for business hours only. Select state agencies (for example: CDPHE, CDPS, DMVA, CDOT) are notified they may be needed to report to the State EOC.
