The Utah Division of Emergency Management has partnered with Salt Lake County Emergency Management and the Salt Lake County Health Department to acquire WebEOC Enterprise as well as the EMSuite and Juvare Exchange. This partnership allows all jurisdictions in the state of Utah to be housed in the same critical incident information management system. This will simplify gathering and sharing information and making resource requests from one jurisdiction to another. The group of partners will work with a team from Juvare who will setup, install, configure and customize the implementation to meet the needs of our stakeholders. The contract also includes dedicated services from Juvare to provide any needed customization beyond the “out of the box” implementation of each product.
This brief video produced by our partners at Juvare provides an overview of the project and the components of the product suite. It also features Kris Hamlet, Director of the Utah Division of Emergency Management, and Keith Bevan, Planning and Intelligence Section Chief with Salt Lake County Emergency Management, who explain the project vision and how these tools will benefit everyone in our emergency management community at the state, county and local levels.
On February 6, 2023, the Division of Emergency Management hosted a webinar to celebrate the launch of the new WebEOC environment for use in real world incidents. This webinar features speakers from DEM, Salt Lake County Emergency Management and Juvare as we move into the next phase of the project.
