Clark County EOP Basic Plan 5. Command and Control The Emergency Manager has the final approval authority for activation and closure of the MACC. Once the decision has been made to limit hours/staff or close the MACC, notification must be disseminated to the same agencies that were notified of its activation. If necessary, the MACC may also be re-opened (see activation procedures in Section 5.4.1) and emergency operations re-initiated at any time. As with initial activation, re-activation of the MACC occurs at the direction of the Emergency Manager. 5.5 MACC Staffing Depending on the incident type, assigned departments will provide staff to the MACC. At any time, if the incident expands or contracts, changes in jurisdiction or discipline, or becomes more or less complex, the on-scene Incident Commander or MACC Manager may change to meet the needs of the incident. In the event that local staffing resources are not adequate to maintain the MACC, the County may request support from the State. Departments involved in emergency operations and personnel assigned to Command and General Staff (if previously designated) are required to report to the MACC upon activation. Personnel assigned to the MACC have the authority to make the decisions associated with their Command and General Staff positions. All primary and alternate MACC staff should be trained on ICS functions outside their areas of expertise. Regularly exercising ICS, including sub-functions and liaison roles, with volunteers and other support staff will improve overall MACC operation efficiency.  MACC staffing requirements for a Level 0 (monitoring) and/or Level 3 (partial) activation will be based on the scope and nature of the emergency, as well as current requirements.  The County Manager will ensure that the appropriate functions of the emergency management organization are notified for Level 2 and 1 MACC activations.  Staffing requirements for Level 1 (full) activations will require full staffing in the MACC, including all sections, as well as the JIC, and public health and medical personnel for medical surge support.  Extended MACC operations may require the use of multiple shifts and position alternates; the Policy Group will make this determination as the situation dictates. 5-10
