Clark County EOP Basic Plan 3. Concept of Operations 3. Infrastructure Restoration: Facilitate restoration of critical infrastructure. 3.3 State Readiness Levels Table 3-1 presents the State of Nevada’s readiness levels. The readiness levels are based on NIMS incident types and associated characteristics used in determining if a local government needs external resources and in State declarations of emergencies. Table 3-1 Readiness Levels Level Characteristics Standard operations are occurring that do not require assistance to any jurisdiction. Nevada Steady Department of Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management (NDEM) personnel State involvement consists only of the Duty Officer to respond to and requests and to monitor the situation. The incident can be handled with one or two single resources with up to six personnel. Command and General Staff positions (other than the State Emergency Operations Type V Center [SEOC] State Emergency Response Team Chief) are not activated. The incident is contained within the first operational period and often within an hour to a few hours after resources arrive on the scene. Examples include a vehicle fire, an injured person, or a police traffic stop. Command and General Staff functions are activated only if needed. Several resources are required to mitigate the incident. The incident is usually limited to one operational period in the control phase. The agency administrator may have briefings and ensures the complexity analysis and Type IV delegations of authority are updated. No written Incident Support Plan (ISP) is required, but documented operational briefings will be completed for all incoming resources. The role of the SEOC SERT Chief includes operational plans including objectives and priorities. When capabilities exceed initial emergency response, the appropriate Incident Command System (ICS) positions should be added to match the complexity of the incident. Some or all of the Command and General Staff positions may be activated; Essential Support Functions (ESFs), as well as Division/Group supervisor and/or Unit Leader Type III level positions, may be assigned. A Type 3 Incident Management Team (IMT) or incident command organization manages initial action incidents with a significant number of resources, an extended attack incident until containment/control is achieved, or an expanding incident until transition to a Type II or Type I team. The incident may extend into multiple operational periods. A written ISP may be required for each operational period. 3-3
