CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OH – Cuyahoga County announced today the opening of Cuyahoga County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Joint Information Center (JIC) in response to three confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Cuyahoga County and Governor Mike DeWine’s Declaration of Emergency for Ohio. All activities within the EOC are managed by the Cuyahoga County Office of Emergency Management (CCOEM).

EOC operations enhance the County’s ability to support and manage county-level disaster response and recovery efforts.
