Overview of the Finance & Administration Section Training:
The Department Operations Centers (DOCs) are where departments coordinate support for their emergency response resources assigned to the field following an emergency, disaster or planned event. DOCs coordinate with the San Francisco Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as part of San Francisco’s emergency response organization, as described in the City & County of San Francisco (CCSF) Emergency Response Plan.

The Finance & Administration Section of each DOC is responsible for providing coordinated financial and administrative support to other DOC Sections and field responders.  This includes:

• Cost Tracking,
• Accounts Payable and Vendor Payments,
• Loss Estimation,
• Monitoring of Expenditures and Revenues,
• Timekeeping, and
• Coordination and communication with the EOC and Controller’s Office. 

This training will also provide an overview of considerations for recovering costs once the response phase has ended and the recovery phase begins.

Purpose of the Finance & Administration Section Training:
