Besides a Municipal Emergency Plan activation and State of Local Emergency declaration, what other circumstances would trigger an EOC opening?
Understand the Problem
The question asks about circumstances, other than the activation of a Municipal Emergency Plan (MEP) and declaration of a State of Local Emergency (SOLE), that would prompt the opening of an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Essentially, it's asking about triggers for activating the EOC in emergency management scenarios.
Answer
Emergencies exceeding local resources, lengthy crises, or major policy decisions can trigger an EOC opening.
Aside from a Municipal Emergency Plan activation and State of Local Emergency declaration, an EOC (Emergency Operations Center) opening can be triggered by situations such as emergencies requiring resources beyond local capabilities, lengthy crisis situations, or when major policy decisions are needed.
