Cherokee County/Tahlequah Deputy Emergency Management Director Mike Underwood is among state and local officials who completed Web EOC training at the State Emergency Operations Center.  Web EOC is a Web application linking emergency managers statewide. This allows them to handle resource coordination and message tracking from their computers.  OEM officials at the State EOC are able to better track and manage state resources like bottled water, cots, blankets and industrial-sized generators due to Web EOC.
