An EOC is a central command that manages responses to disasters, providing coordination, communication, and allocation of resources to all responding agencies. From the EOC, meals would be distributed to line men, first responders, and other emergency management personnel involved in response to Winter Storm Fern.<br \/><br \/>While at the EOC, the center liaison told the Salvation Army team about a senior care facility nearby that had requested meals. Since the team had enough meals remaining to serve, they took the unexpected detour to the Tulip Woods Senior Apartments. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Residents were excited and grateful to receive hot meal and kept thanking the Salvation Army team for being there.
