The San Francisco City Emergency Operations Center (EOC) held a meeting on June 11, 2025, to discuss ongoing preparations and responses to recent protests and civil unrest activities occurring both nationwide and within the state. The meeting emphasized the importance of coordination and communication among various departments to ensure public safety during these events.

The operations section chief outlined the EOC's role in managing information sharing and maintaining situational awareness during protests. This includes real-time updates and coordination with external agencies, such as Waymo, to mitigate potential disruptions and protect city property. The chief noted that the EOC does not directly manage on-scene tactical operations, which remain under the jurisdiction of field incident commanders.

To enhance response capabilities, the EOC has established several task forces led by battalion chiefs. These task forces are strategically deployed to key areas, including Union Square, the Financial District, Civic Center Plaza, and the Mission and Castro neighborhoods. Each task force is equipped with various emergency response resources, including fire engines, ambulances, and tactical EMS support.

Looking ahead, the EOC is preparing for two significant protests scheduled for the upcoming Saturday. The first protest, titled the "Fascist Regime Protest," is set to begin at 10 AM at 20 Fourth and Mission, while the "No Kings Mass Protest" will start at 11 AM at Dolores Park. The EOC is closely monitoring these events and will adjust staffing and resources as necessary to ensure a safe environment for all participants and the general public.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the city's proactive approach to managing civil unrest through effective coordination, resource allocation, and strategic planning, ensuring that public safety remains a top priority as protests continue to unfold.
