Livingston County Government issued the following announcement on April 17.
The County's Emergency Operations Center is now fully activated. What does this mean? There are representatives from each emergency service department in the county as well as the Emergency Manager, Health Department, local hospitals, transportation, and Central Dispatch. EOC staff meet virtually daily to ensure needed resources and plans are in place to protect the safety of the public and responders throughout the COVID-19 response.
The EOC serves as a coordination hub for an incident response. Staff do things like gather critical information, track trends, request and coordinate delivery of supplies, and report statistics to local organizations.
Through the EOC, the county can request needed resources from the State of Michigan. If the resources are not available from the State, the EOC will find other means to secure the needed items.
Information is sent to local media outlets and posted daily on social media outlets managed by the following disciplines: Local Fire Department, Local Police Department, Livingston County Health Department, Livingston County Emergency Management and Livingston County Central Dispatch. Additional information can be found on the Livingston County Health Department website at www.LCHD.org.
