To answer this, I will be speaking with Alison Poste, Carolyn Dumbeck, Sarah Delisle about their joint article entitled more than technology: Experiences of Virtual Emergency Operations Centers during the COVID -19 pandemic response in Canada, which they jointly published in the Journal of Emergency Management, as well as some tips and tricks which may just help you in your next virtual EOC activation.
