County EOC Access

County EOC is located at 55 W. Younger Ave., San Jose.

If you have a MAC badge wear it. To gain access to the building, ring the bell to the right side of the double glass doors. A Sheriff’s Deputy will buzz you in and check your ID. Proceed to the window on the left side of the lobby and check-in with the Desk Officer. Your name will be on a list. You will be buzzed (a click more than a buzz) into the elevator lobby to your right. Take the elevator to the 4th floor, exit the elevator to the left and proceed to the EOC. Ignore the empty looking area and come down the hallway on your right past the radio room. The ICS-211 will be located in the EOC on the nearest table.
