Ready for a "Distributed" EOC?

This is a quick post just to introduce a topic that I’ve thought about only a little: How to we support a distributed emergency operations center? That is, an EOC that isn’t a single place where everyone gets together and decisions are (or aren’t) made?

One context where this is mentioned is the response to a public health emergency where people don’t want to be close enough to other people to catch something, but still need to organize a response.

I have so many other projects—right away projects—that I am not going to spend too much time on this at the moment. But, the more I work with public health (and we have a statewide PanFlu exercise in June) the more I’ll have to work on this.

Thoughts and comments welcomed.
