Basic Study for an Training Program Towards Effective Operation of Emergency Operation Center (EOC)

Abstract

This study implemented disaster response headquarters operation training for both local governments and private companies, aiming to explore effective management methods. The training adopted a non-scenario-based live-action format, simulating real disaster conditions to improve participants’ skills in rapid information gathering, organization, and decision-making. As a result, participants, who initially had vague concerns about the setup and operation of disaster response headquarters, developed more specific awareness of the challenges after the training and gained a deeper understanding of its importance.
