Provincial Operations Centre (POC)

The Provincial Operations Centre (POC) is the facility that coordinates a cross-government response when municipalities and/or industry require assistance.  The POC is led by a Director and has Operations, Plans, Logistics and Finance/Administration Chiefs in accordance with the Incident Command System.  For issues pertaining to the POC, contact Alberta Emergency Management Agency at 780-422-9000.

The Alberta Emergency Plan (2008) describes who can activate the POC and under what conditions.
