Escambia County Emergency Management

The Escambia County Division of Emergency Management is responsible for coordinating mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery efforts for emergency events in our
community. Planning, continuous training and teamwork have been the key to a quick response and successful recovery from the many disasters that have impacted our community.
An emergency operations center, or EOC, is a facility designed to serve as a local or regional support center. The EOC, when activated, is a central location where representatives of local government and private sector agencies convene during disaster situations to make decisions, set priorities and coordinate resources for response and recovery. The Escambia County EOC is located at 6575 N. “W” Street in Pensacola. It was built to withstand 200 mph winds and is equipped with a generator sized to power all loads during an emergency.
