Mission Statement:

To gather, process, and report emergency situation intelligence to aid in State policy and decision-making; support local communities as they direct and control disaster emergency response operations; and account for the State's response support costs.

The SEOC is Alaska’s central hub for emergency response, coordinating efforts to address crises such as severe weather, earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, and public health emergencies.

Whether facilitating evacuations during storms, coordinating hazardous spill cleanups, or ensuring continuity of essential services in remote areas, SEOC remains committed to protecting lives, property, and the environment. Through ongoing preparedness efforts, training, and public outreach, SEOC helps build a safer, more resilient Alaska.
