MISSION:
The Emergency Management Center (EMC) oversees a Comprehensive
Emergency Management System (CEMS) for the Department of Labor. The CEMS
prescribes departmental roles and responsibilities to adequately prepare for
and respond to a full spectrum of potential natural or man-made disasters, as
well as supporting lead Federal agencies in assisting state and local
governments, to include international requests for assistance, in the event of
such disasters. The CEMS provides the framework for development, coordination,
and direction of planning, preparedness, readiness assurance, and response
activities. The CEMS also incorporates DOL roles and responsibilities in
response to Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Continuity of Government (COG)
emergencies.
The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) serves as the central point
of contact for the Departmental Emergency Management Team (EMT) during natural
and man-made disasters and emergencies involving the Department's personnel
and/or program response. In the event of an activation, the EOC is capable of
sustained 24/7 operations.
