Public Health Emergencies Global threats – global responses
A Global Operations Centre Why Global?

A Global Operations Centre Why an Operations Centre?
“An EOC is an effective way to achieve coordination among agencies responding to a major emergency or disaster. The absence of an EOC seems to encourage the opposite.”
Scanlon J. "The Role of EOCs in Emergency Management: A Comparison of American and Canadian Experience."
A Global Operations Centre Why an Operations Centre?
• Multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary nature of response to most (all) emergencies
• Effective communication and coordination are critical
• Timely, accurate information sharing and exchange is essential for taking action
Global Operations Centre Emergency Operations Centre Functions*
General Functions
• Command/Control/Coordination (of response)
• Operations
• Planning
• Logistics
• Public communication/information
• Finance/admin/policy
• Intelligence/data/information management
Public Health Functions
• Surveillance/epidemiology
• Data collection and analysis
• Disease control
• Laboratory functions
• Environmental health
• Health promotion, community engagement, and social mobilisation
*WHO EOC-NET Meeting Report, April 2015
Global Operations Centre Core Principles*
• Based on an all-hazards approach
• Modular, scalable or adaptable organization
• Support for joint engagement of multiple jurisdictions/organizations in management decisions
• Clear lines of accountability
• Integration and interoperability with partner agencies (national and international)
• Clearly defined roles and responsibilities, consistent with normal roles and supported by training
*WHO EOC-NET Meeting Report, April 2015
Global Operations Centre – When? Public Health Emergency Response
Public Health Emergency of International Concern
An extraordinary event, which is determined:
• to constitute a public health risk to other States through the international spread of disease; and
• to potentially require a coordinated international response
WHO, IHR (2005)
Global Operations Centre Pre-requisites for Success
• Mandate
• Trust
• Plans and procedures
• Staff
• Information management systems (including task management systems) – integrated/interoperable
• Communications technology and infrastructure
• Regular training and exercises

Challenges for a Global Operations Centre
• Establishing a clear mandate (leadership/support)
• Securing Staffing and Information System resources
• Achieving agreement with other sectors on "Concept of Operations“
• Developing common criteria for activation, escalation and de-escalation of emergency response levels
• The lack of standards and interoperability of public health EOCs and their related plans
• Ineffective communication of operational info and collaboration among and between EOCs and response teams
• Maintaining Directories of available expertise
• Regular international and inter-agency exercises
Historical issues in the management of emergency responses
• Lack of leadership
• Lack of coordination
• Lack of integration
• Lack or loss of resources
• Lack of planning
• Lack of media support
Global EOC Provides
− Expert focus of leadership
− A priori plans, good comms
− Overall command and control
− A priori plans, clear mandate
− Clarity of mandate, resources
− Clear and consistent communications, highly visible coordination
