​The City of Dallas EOC coordinates City Departments during emergency events. The EOC helps monitor and manage resources and activities to provide an efficient response to any situation – from severe weather to terrorism activities. We work to gather and disseminate information to establish goals and priorities to respond and recover from the emergency.
