Looks interesting.
Community open house set for Saturday
Spacious, state-of-the-art and sturdy. These are some of the words being used to describe the county’s new Emergency Operations and Sheriff’s Communications Center, which will be unveiled during a public open house from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 2.
Residents are invited to tour the $21 million, 43,000-square-foot facility and view vehicles from some of the county’s emergency response agencies, including the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, Volusia County Fire Services and EVAC Ambulance.
The new center will house the countywide 9-1-1 dispatch center and the emergency operations center, which provides central location for officials to make strategic decisions during emergencies such as hurricanes, wildfires, civil unrest and mass casualty incidents.
The 6,500-square-foot dispatch center has 50 consoles for dispatchers, while the 4,000-square-foot emergency operations center can hold 90 support staff during disasters.
Features include high-tech communications and energy systems, a news media broadcast room, citizens information center, ham radio center, 80-foot backup radio tower, backup generators, helicopter pad, meeting rooms, kitchen, and bunk rooms for men and women.
The building has been designed to withstand 180 mph winds and an EF3 tornado.
