To enhance emergency service needs of Marin County residents during a major disaster, the County of Marin is planning to construct a new Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) at or near the Marin Civic Center Campus. This modern facility will be designed to incorporate the latest strategies and techniques in disaster relief, technology and construction. The Civic Center Campus is a State and National Historic Landmark designed by the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
A modern facility meeting “essential services” standards is critical, and required by law, for disaster preparedness planning and response. This means that this building, in so far as practical, must remain operational and functioning after a major disaster. The County’s Office of Emergency Services is currently located in the Marin County Civic Center building and may be severely hindered in effectively responding to the public safety needs in the event of a major disaster. Ensuring that our emergency services are secure in the event of a disaster is an important step in saving lives and limiting economic losses.
