Emergency Response Operations Overview
The NCC all-hazard response relies on the flexible application of OMNCS resources to meet crises occurring primarily in NTMS Response Levels I and II. During Response Level III, the NCC will convene to perform functions similar to its Response Level II functions for as long as it is operationally capable, or as provisions of the OMNCS COOP apply. NCC emergency operations are overlaid on the background of NTMS Response Levels using EOTs structured in real time to meet an evolving emergency or to respond to an event that has already occurred. NCC EOTs will be organized to effectively utilize resources when responding to a crisis. EOT flexibility will be ensured by establishing a concept used by crisis managers to determine the size and functional composition of an EOT to best meet the specific requirements of an ongoing emergency response. The NCC Initial Response Team (IRT) will be the first NCS organization responding to any crisis. The IRT will conduct an initial assessment of the crisis and alert other NCC and OMNCS personnel, as necessary, to staff an EOT appropriately sized for the emergency. The flexibility of the EOT structure will allow seamless movement from an NCC IRT to NCC EOTs to support a response in any of the three NTMS Response Levels.
