IMPACTED LIFELINES AND KEY COMPONENTS

State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) Status

Level 1:

The State Emergency Operations Center is at Level 1. CDPHE and the SEOC combined organizations to form a Unified Command in the effort to

support the states needs against the COVID­19 pandemic. All functions are available for prioritizing and fulfilling requests. Supplies of certain high- demand personal protective equipment remain constrained.​

The SEOC is coordinating with other State agencies in preparation for the upcoming winter storm front coming this weekend (12­14 March). Please

prepare for this storm and be safe if you are traveling.​

­Due to COVID­19, physical staffing within the State EOC will be carefully managed. Partners physically present in the EOC will vary at any time, and

remote coordination tools will be used. At this time, there is no need for Emergency Response Coordinators to report to the EOC unless specifically

contacted and requested.​
