Local Government is the prin1.cuy " first provider'! of emergency response services. If the disaster causes extraordinary work for the protection of lives and property, local government activates their .Emergency Operations Center ( EOC) and their Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, and coordinates the response- with public and private organizatioIis arid to alleviate or eliminate problems' that occur. The local Office of agencies Emergency Management will usually notify the State Emergency of the situation by submitting Situation Reports Management Agency SITREPS). If local government capabilities to meet the need for emergency response are likely to be exceeded: The local government may call upon the assistance of any or all local governmlents and that are signatory to mutual aid organizations compacts. Any response agreements with state and federal departments or agencies may be executed. Local elected may also make a local proclamation of official(s) emergency to authorize use of local resources, the expenditure of local funds, and to waive the usual bidding process for goods and services. The local elected official(s) may make a request to state Emergency Manage:ment Agency for state and/ or federal emergency assistance. 2. . On notification of disaster response from local government, the State Emergency Management Agency monitors the situation, and reviews and evaluates the local situation reports, local response efforts and requests for assistance. If necessary, the state EOC is activated to coordinate available state assistance. If warranted, the. Governor proclaims a state of emergency 1hat activates the state disaster preparedness plan, provides for the use of state assistance or resources, and begins the process for possible provision of federal assistance or resources. After the immediate threat has passed, and state and/ or federal assistance for repair or recovery may be needed, the comprehensive damage assessment process begins. 3. The Federal. Response Plan ( FRP) contains the federal concept of operation for how the resources of 26 federal agencies and the American Red Cross will coordinate their efforts to provide immediate response assistance to the state in the event of a catastrophic disaster. Resources of the 27 federal partners are grouped into 12 Emergency Support Functions ( ESFs), including transportation, fire fighting, mass care, health and medical services, public works and urban search and rescue.
