Mission Statement
The City of Commerce's Emergency Preparedness Office is supervised by a full-time Emergency Preparedness Officer, who is responsible for directing the EOC (Emergency Operations Center), coordinating the city's response to any type of emergency, and providing training to members of the city's 22 member Urban Search and Rescue team (USAR). The USAR team members are state certified in System Rescue I.
The office also maintains a fully operational mobile EOC, which is outfitted with the the necessary communications equipment to assist rescue workers in case of a disaster. The mobile EOC is also used for a variety of routine functions, including area policing and Neighborhood Watch operations.
