Updates from the State Emergency Operations Center

The Minnesota State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) has been activated for the COVID-19 pandemic.

The center is part of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, (DPS) and the activation brings what I refer to as “all the players” together to manage and support the work going on around the state.

The staffing of the center partially depends on the type of incident or emergency. This is the incident management system in full operation.

As part of the process, the SEOC release updates periodically. This is coordinated through the DPS Office of Communication and is available to the public. Update #4 was just released yesterday. This is a source of vetted information that can assist public officials and decisionmakers at the local level in their planning and operations.

You can access the updates here via the SEOC website  find them all by clicking on the "News and Information" link in the box on the left-hand sidebar of this webpage.

Up next: More Updates

Stay safe,
Rob
