State/tribal emergency operations center is activated as necessary to support local EOCs and to ensure that responders have the resources they need to conduct response activities.
<u>Explanation:</u>
An Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is the physical place at which the coordination of reports and supplies to assist incident management activities usually takes place. EOCs may be formed by major functional disciplines like fire, law enforcement, medical services, by jurisdiction like Federal, State, regional, tribal, city, county, or by some blend thereof.
When an emergency happens, each state agency carries out its duties self-governing of other agencies. The actions of state agencies must be similarly regulated if the state is to react effectively. The goal of the State Emergency Operations Center is to promote that coordination.
