Pinal County Emergency Operations Center getting Much Needed Upgrade
[NEWS RELEASE] Since it’s opening in 1999, not much has changed in Pinal County’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The white boards still on the walls, the large tables and chairs that have served its purpose for 18 years are making way for a 21st century makeover.
The EOC, which also serves as the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing room, will be dark for the next week receiving some new and upgraded technology.
According to Chuck Kmet, Pinal County’s Emergency Manager, the building and infrastructure has been present since 1999. “This upgrade will give us the ability to respond better, more effectively and efficiently in emergencies.”
