CECOMS

When an incident can no longer be managed within the local communities and/or mutual aid resources, the Cuyahoga Emergency Communications System (CECOMS) 24-hour communications center and Emergency Management Manager and/or on-call staff are notified. The County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) may be activated to assist the local community with resources and coordination of the response and recovery effort.

A state of local emergency may be requested by the CCOEM Manager when an emergency event has occurred, is anticipated to generate major damage in Cuyahoga County, and threatens the health and safety of county residents; or is anticipated to go beyond normal response capabilities.
