The EOC functions as the central communication and coordination hub for both the County and Operational Area emergency response teams, including Mutual Aid Coordinators and state Office of Emergency services. In August 2018, the Grand Jury directed staff to "explore options to build a secondary access road to the EOC from the 241" Toll Road in the event of a catastrophic event. This project will improve Loma Ridge Road to two-lanes (one in each direction), to allow for two-way traffic. In order to minimize the risk of outages of the utilities to the EOC, undergrounding is also included in this project. Undergrounding of utilities includes Southern California Edison, AT&T, Crown Castle, and Cox Communications.
