At
one time State OES used its "State Operations Center" to
support OES response to any emergency anywhere in the state.
However, events in the l990's proved the need for more localized
state emergency operations centers. State OES created 3 large
administrative regions as follows: Coastal (17 counties along
the coast - Humboldt to Monterey); Inland (31 counties interior
of state Kern County north to the Oregon border); Southern 10
counties south of Kern County and along US 395 east of the Sierra's
into Mono County.
The
REOC's work directly with the Operational Areas (Counties and
all political jurisdictions therein). If an OA EOC is activated,
so is the REOC as a required element of SEMS.
