Emergency Operations Centers

A well-equipped modern emergency operations center (EOC) is key to a coordinated response and is the focal point for managing activities that occur during the event. Emergency operations centers are designed to facilitate mission critical activities such as command and control, training and dispatch. The success of each of these activities is directly related to space planning, ergonomic furniture design, and audiovisual monitoring within the operations center. As a leading control room designer, custom furniture manufacturer and audiovisual systems integrator, Americon ensures that every operations center it outfits creates an environment for effective interaction between teams and decision-makers.

Emergency Operations Center Furniture: The design and layout of specialized furniture ensures that operators work in a comfortable and convenient environment with the necessary tools placed at their fingertips. A well planned furniture layout ensures successful interaction between teams and allows the flexibility to rearrange as requirements change.

Dispatch Furniture: Specialized dispatch furniture may also be a component of a modern emergency operations center. Custom-made ergonomic dispatch furniture support communications and security requirements with furniture designed specifically for that purpose.

Video Wall Systems: DLP, LED, and LCD video wall systems bring real-time data and information in an intuitive form that speeds decision-making. In emergencies, audiovisual systems could be the only link to the outside.
