The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) establishes area command when multiple incidents occur that require coordinated response efforts across various jurisdictions or agencies. This typically happens when the scale of the incidents exceeds the capabilities of individual incident command systems, necessitating a higher level of oversight and resource management. Area command helps to ensure that resources are allocated effectively and that strategic objectives are met across all affected areas.

An Emergency Operations Center (EOC) director may establish an Area Command when managing large-scale incidents that exceed the capacity of local responders or when multiple jurisdictions are involved. For example, during a wildfire that threatens multiple communities, an Area Command may be established to oversee the strategic coordination of resources and operations across all affected jurisdictions.

This ensures coordinated communication and resource management among various agencies involved in the incident. Dispatch will relay critical information and support the unified command structure to enhance situational awareness and decision-making during the emergency response.
