County EOC Access

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. Proceed to the window on the left side of the lobby and check-in with the Desk Officer who will check your ID. 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. Sign-in on the ICS-211 at the desk and then proceed down the hallway to the Radio Room and EOC. Be ready for a briefing at 0900.
