If you have never had the opportunity to tour a city or county Emergency Operations center (EOC), perhaps this will help grasp some aspects of one.
Past bulletins have described the SHARES and the FEMA National Emergency Coordination Net (NECN). To illustrate system use, here is the result of a March 2002 Quarterly Test.
The Incident Command System (ICS) establishes policies and procedures that provide a common terminology and methods of operating at an incident. This gives standardization for agencies that may or may not otherwise work together. The result is such that many branches, sections, groups and other units can work together more readily with a minimum of confusion.
