Regional emergency operations infrastructure rollout

Planned, standardised, and oversaw the build-out of emergency operations centres across six regions to a single international framework.

The context

Six regions needed Public Health Emergency Operations Centres built to a single international standard, so that emergency coordination would look and work the same way everywhere — despite each region starting from different buildings, budgets, and readiness levels.

What I did

Identified and helped plan suitable locations across the regions, validating that each building could properly house the full set of required spaces — conference room, manager's office, and watch room — to the reference framework. Worked through the IT equipment, devices, and furniture each centre required, and guided regional teams to procure standard-grade items fit for purpose rather than whatever was cheapest or nearest. Supervised installation and final configuration in each location, confirming everything was set up and functioning as intended before handover.

The outcome

Six regions brought to a uniform emergency-operations standard, with consistent, fit-for-purpose facilities ready to coordinate response — replacing ad-hoc arrangements with a repeatable model.

Who I worked with

Regional health teams and national coordination.
