\n[lead]Whether it’s a hurricane headed for Central Florida\u00a0or a global pandemic forcing physical distancing, the\u00a0麻豆原创 Emergency Operation Center (EOC) is command\u00a0central in times of crisis on campus.[\/lead]<\/p>\n

Located on Perseus\u00a0Loop near the 麻豆原创 Police Department<\/a>, the EOC is\u00a0home to the Emergency Management team<\/a>, which\u00a0spends every waking moment working to prevent,\u00a0prepare for, manage or recover from critical threats\u00a0to 麻豆原创. On March 10, the team met for a hands-on\u00a0practical discussion about the coronavirus<\/a> and campus\u00a0safety<\/a>. 麻豆原创 had been monitoring and preparing for the\u00a0pandemic since January.<\/p>\n
