Locals and visitors to Eleuthera are often unsure of whom to call in case of an emergency. With the presence of an Emergency Operation Center, residents will know where to go to get immediate and effective help for fires, accidents, illnesses, storms, and other emergencies that may occur. The EOC in Tarpum Bay will also serve as the nucleus of emergency response activity for the entire island of Eleuthera in the case of a natural disaster. Once the EOC has become fully operational, SEEP will seek to establish EOCs in other strategic locations on the island.
