Emergency Response Plan <br />5.3 Multiagency Coordination <br />Multiagency coordination during incidents is an essential yet complex task. <br />Challenges include: <br />• Incident complexity <br />• Response costs <br />• Complex legal authorities and political considerations <br />• Conflicting SOGs, employment policies, and labor agreements <br />• Different experiences and knowledge levels among responders <br />This Mayfield Village EOP addresses these issues through the following command <br />and management approaches: <br />• Emergency Operations Center (EOC) <br />• Incident Command System (ICS) <br />• Multiagency Coordination (MAC) System <br />The activation of the EOC will help facilitate multi-agency coordination. This will <br />allow all levels of government, and all disciplines, to work together more <br />efficiently and effectively. <br />ICS enables responders from different jurisdictions and disciplines to work <br />together to respond emergencies. ICS provides a flexible framework allowing <br />Mayfield Village and other agencies to collaboratively direct, control, and <br />coordinate an incident response. ICS benefits include a unified approach to <br />incident management; a standard command and management structure; and <br />emphasis on preparedness, mutual aid, and resource support. <br />If necessary, Mayfield Village can also activate a Multiagency Coordination <br />System (MAC). In addition to the framework provided through ICS, a MAC <br />includes all of the components needed to manage and support an ,incident; <br />such as facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communication <br />systems. These components may include state and federal EOCs, on-scene <br />command, dispatch centers, and Joint Information Systems (JIS). <br />6.0 INFORMATION COLLECTION AND <br />DISSEMINATION <br />6.1 Overview <br />121Page <br />
