Emergency Management functions for the District are managed and executed by the Security, Plans, and Operations Office (SPO), which staffs and operates the EOC. During response operations, the Japan District's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) serves as the central communications and coordination point for achieving unified action in incident response.
During daily operations, the Security, Plans, and Operations office executes physical, information, and personnel security programs in support of our workforce, develops All Hazards response plans, coordinates with higher headquarters and supported commands, and manages current operations for the district. EM/SPO protects the workforce by monitoring threats and hazards daily, publishing alerts, warnings and guidance to District offices and worksites from Misawa in the north, to Okinawa in the south.
