Besides activation of the Municipal Emergency Plan (MEP) and declaration of a State of Local Emergency (SOLE), what other circumstances would trigger an EOC opening? Select all that apply: a- An incident occurs that is expected to build over time. b- Significant negative impacts on the population are anticipated, and response and resource coordination are required. c- Canada day activities. d- Next week, weather conditions are expected to plummet to -40C.
Understand the Problem
The question asks about the circumstances that would trigger the opening of an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), given that a Municipal Emergency Plan (MEP) activation and a State of Local Emergency (SOLE) declaration already triggered it. We need to identify which of the provided scenarios would also necessitate opening the EOC.
Answer
EOC activation occurs when an incident is expected to build over time or when significant negative impacts on the population are anticipated, requiring response and resource coordination.
The activation of an Emergency Operations Center (EOC), besides the Municipal Emergency Plan (MEP) and State of Local Emergency (SOLE), occurs when: An incident is expected to build over time; significant negative impacts on the population are anticipated, and response and resource coordination are required.
