Common Operating Picture
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) serves as the ESF 1 coordinator. ESF 1, or the Emergency Support Function 1, is responsible for coordinating federal assistance to support local, state, tribal, and territorial governments in their emergency response and recovery efforts. FEMA plays a key role in coordinating resources and providing leadership in response to disasters and emergencies.
The decision to deactivate an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) typically lies with top management or officials responsible for emergency response and recovery efforts. This may include emergency management directors, incident commanders, or other key stakeholders involved in coordinating emergency operations. The decision is usually based on factors such as the resolution of the emergency, decreased response needs, or a shift in priorities.
The primary agency of Emergency Support Function (ESF) #5 - Emergency Management is usually the state emergency management agency or equivalent organization designated by the state's emergency operations plan. ESF #5 assists in coordinating emergency management activities during a disaster or emergency situation.
