When Hurricane Helene hit Spartanburg County, their new EOC didn’t flinch. Instead, it became the 24/7 command hub, coordinating emergency response, and keeping 9-1-1 services online through flooding, wind, and power outages. This wasn’t luck. It was the result of smart design and long-range planning. As more municipalities face extreme weather and growing emergency demands, the need for resilient, flexible facilities is clear.
