A host city's EOC will only be available if the host city does not anticipate using its EOC during an event. 6. How to activate. Upon determination of need by the requesting city's emergency manager or designee, the requesting city's emergency manager or designee will contact the host city's emergency manager, or designee, to request use of the host city's EOC.

Any special needs should also be described at the time of the request. 7. Duration. The parties agree that effective EOC operations are essential for successful resolution of an incident or event, and once open, the host EOC should be available for at least one operational period.
