Inside Queensland Emergency Operations Centre

When you’re dialling 000, you’re probably not thinking about the technology behind the scenes that relays your call and manages disasters from the small scale to the world shaking. Keeping emergency responses ticking along is a high tech effort these days, as these pictures from inside Queensland’s Emergency Operations Centre show.



The complex is located at Kedron Park; here’s a shot of the disaster management centre (on the left), while the right houses the call centre. No photos inside the emergency management centre, but that makes sense; it’s pretty much always in use. Its primary coverage area is Brisbane, but it can take overflow calls from anywhere else in the state.
