Mission Statement
The mission of the El Dorado County Office of Emergency Services is to prepare the people in El Dorado County to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies which threaten life, property, or the environment. 

Operational Area

Emergency Operations Center Activation Goals
Activation of the Emergency Operations Center facilitates the sharing of information and resources between the county, the Operational Area cities, and other agencies. This allows EOC staff too efficiently:

• meet the immediate needs of people (rescue, medical care, food, shelter, clothing)

• and, meet the rehabilitation needs of people (temporary housing, food stamps, employment).
