POST-ACTIVITY REPORT
TITLE OF LGU HINUNDAYAN
ACTIVITY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (EOC) Training Course
DATE(S) 2023-10-10 to 2023-10-13
As provided for in the Republic Act (RA) 10121, the Office of Civil Defense (OCD),
as the Executive Arm and Secretariat of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council (NDRRMC), is mandated to establish standard operating
procedures (SOPs) for coordination across all phases of disaster. Under the
thematic area of Disaster Response, one of the coordinating mechanisms
established is the Incident Command System (ICS). Introduced in the country by
the United States Forest Service (USFS), ICS is a standard, on-scene, all-hazard
incident management concept that can be used by all response groups. It helped
to enhance the operations of responders particularly in ensuring accountability,
facilitating proper resource management, and promoting safety.
Aside from ICS, another significant disaster response program of the NDRRMC is
the Cluster Approach. As stipulated in the National Disaster Response Plan, the
Response Clusters shall serve as the operating mechanisms to provide
widespread support in terms of resources pooling and mobilization for massive
humanitarian assistance and disaster response services. The ICS and the Cluster
BACKGROUND Approach are two distinct yet complementary systems. As evidenced by past
major operations for disasters and planned events in the country, both systems
effectively complement each other by using the “force-provider” and
“forceemployer” relationship. ICS, as the “force employer”, is used to manage on-
scene response while the Response Clusters, as the “force providers”, act as
supporters to the Incident Management Teams (IMTs). To facilitate the
interoperability of these two (2) important entities, the Emergency Operations
Center (EOC) has been underscored.
The EOC is the facility equipped with personnel and resources that serves as
repository of information and main hub for coordination to support the
management of an incident or planned event. In this context, the EOC acts as the
link between the IMTs and the Response Clusters. While RA 10121 clearly
requires the establishment of operation centers across all the DRRMC levels,
there have been no clear guidelines and training as to how to properly manage
and operate an EOC. Evidently, establishing an EOC as physical facility complete
with monitoring tools and communications equipment is not enough given all the
complexities of providing linkages between the IMTs and the Response Clusters.
While there are some well-maintained and sophisticated EOCs established in
some parts of the countries, there has been no common operating procedure as
to how inter-agency and multi-level coordination of response shall be facilitated.
GENERAL OBJECTIVE: To develop the knowledge, attitude and skills required
in the effective operationalization and management of an EOC.
OBJECTIVE(S) 1. Discuss the concept of the EOC, its legal mandate, and role in the broader
spectrum of the Philippine DRRM system;
2. Discuss the approaches for the EOC operations;
3. Describe the considerations for staffing and organizing an EOC;
4. Determine the physical building requirements for establishing an EOC; 5.
Explain the communication essentials of an EOC;
6. Discuss considerations for information management as applied in an EOC;

7. Explain the EOC planning process and its importance;
8. Describe the approaches in ensuring the readiness of an EOC; and
9. Apply the principles on EOC operationalization and management through
functional exercise.

Analysis
The majority of participants have expressed their appreciation for the training
methodologies as well as the concepts and principles they have learned, particularly
because of their applicability in and out of the workplace. Most people also agree that
the 4-day duration is adequate. The majority of the participants are comfortable with
their room accommodation. Some participants have expressed dissatisfaction with the
limited area for the venue especially for workshops. Some participants also
commented on the variety of foods that would be served, particularly at breakfast, and
preferred traditional local foods rather than the continental foods served. However, the
majority of participants rated the overall training as excellent, resulting in the training's
success and passing the required rate.
Pre-Test Post-Test
Analysis
Based on the pre-test results, 1 participant received a score of 16, and 19 other
participants received a score greater than 10. This indicates that some of the
participants were able to browse the Trainee's manual prior to the preliminaries, as it
was distributed upon arrival while waiting for the preliminaries to begin or some are
familiar with the terms already. The resource persons/instructors are more specific in
providing examples that are relatable and practical in the participants' respective LGU
settings. The instructors have explained the EOC concepts and applications in the
most straightforward manner possible.
Page 24 of 25
In the post-test, all participants passed with an average of 17.24 out of 20 items. 5
participants also received a perfect score of 20. This demonstrates that the participants'
understanding and appreciation of EOC has greatly improved, and that the training
objectives have been met.
EOC training for LGU HINUNDAYAN is a success based on the obvious results.
