Direct economic loss, in 2007, reached $62.5 billion USD exceeding $34 billion USD a year ago. Fortunately, the death toll of 2007 is 15,517 lower than 21,342 in 2006. Among disaster events, eight of 10 most severe events were in Asia and Niigata Earthquake in Japan with 6.8-magnitude claimed the damages over $12.5 billion USD. As consequence, it is a demanding requirement to build up a comprehensive system for disaster reduction and emergency response. After a major disaster happening, the core organization of emergency response will fall on Emergency Operation Center, EOC, which dominates leadership, mobility, functionality and operation of emergency relief and rescue. From the review of research reports and practical case studies, all results emphasize on the importance of EOC. For establishing competent mechanism of emergency response and decentralizing commanding system to reduce impacts from disaster in Taipei Metropolitan Area, the city government issued “Operation Guidelines of Emergency Operation Center in Taipei City “on Feb. 12, 2007, which well defines the operation procedures related to collaboration and standard operation process among agencies in EOC. Furthermore, with the introduction of Incident Command System, ICS, the Taipei City shows its ambition to improve operation efficiency in EOC. Focal point of the study is designed to explore the problems and solutions of ICS introduction for identify where should be modified and enhanced. By the comparison of new and old commanding systems in the EOC of Taipei City, suggestions and comments are proposed through case studies of emergency operation of typhoon and earthquake.
