EOC Activation and Deactivation
| Emergency Operations Centers are activated for a variety of incidents, threats and events.
Some circumstances that might trigger center activation include:
-
Multiple jurisdictions or agencies involved in an incident.
-
The Incident Commander or Unified Command indicates an incident could expand rapidly, involve cascading effects or require additional resources.
-
A similar incident in the past led to EOC activation. The EOC Director or an appointed or elected official directs EOC activation. -
An incident is imminent such as predicted hurricane, flooding, hazardous weather, or elevated threat levels. Threshold events described in an emergency operations plan occur. Significant impacts to the population are anticipated.
