Likewise, the Center for Command, Control, Communications and Computing (C4) is another robust body that handles coexistence, citizen security, environmental and health incidents in Bogotá. The C4 is supported by the 123 hotline, the citizen video surveillance system, several communication systems, civic participation networks, manned and unmanned aerial support equipment, information and analysis systems, and the Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
