Client
As a rule, Yes. Staging areas are physical locations set-up to keep both personnel and equipment together; from staged positions the incident commander can utilize those assets as needed. Maintaining control and accountability is critical to proper utilization of forces. Emergency incident staging is modeled on military experience.
No, 'awaiting' cannot be used as an adjective, though 'waiting' can be. 'Awaiting' is the present participle of the verb 'await'. For example: 'He was awaiting the arrival of his aunt.'
