The police station will serve as the main command center for the City of Pacifica in the event of a major emergency. Representatives from the city's various departments will set up operation in the room designated as the Emergency Operations Center (EOC).

Department representatives will coordinate command, planning, operations, logistics and finance efforts with each other and utilize the resources of the police station - communications systems, back-up power sources, secure facility, trained emergency personnel - until the emergency is under control.

The EOC is equipped with dedicated emergency phone lines, computer/audio-visual equipment, mini-kitchen, amateur radio operator space, city maps and operations plans, among other resources.
