Clark County EOP Basic Plan 5. Command and Control  Sheriff  Tribal Chair  Chief Health Officer Refer to the Southern Nevada Emergency Operations Center Standard Operating Procedures for additional information. 5.4.1 MACC Activation The MACC will be activated when an emergency situation occurs that exceeds local and/or in-field capabilities to adequately respond to and mitigate an incident(s). The scope of an emergency, rather than the type, will largely determine whether the MACC will be activated, and to what level. When an emergency occurs in or affects the County, the EMO will operate at one of the escalating MACC activation levels defined below in Table 5-2. Table 5-2 MACC Activation Levels Level Characteristics Steady  Normal monitoring status reflective of day-to-day operations. A planned or special event State/ may be imminent which may require minor information or resource coordination. The Level 0 Multi-Agency Coordination Center (MACC) will not be formally activated.  A minor to moderate incident has occurred whereas local resources are adequate and Level 3 available, or intelligence information suggests an event may be impending. A ‘LOCAL EMERGENCY’ may or may not be declared. Emergency Management functions will typically operate remotely. The MACC may or may not be formally activated.  A moderate to severe incident where local resources are not adequate and mutual aid Level 2 may be required on a county or statewide basis. A ‘LOCAL EMERGENCY’ may be declared and a ‘STATE OF EMERGENCY’ may also be declared. The MACC may be activated on a full or partial basis.  A major disaster or emergency has occurred whereas resources in or near the impacted area are overwhelmed and extensive state and/or federal resources may be required. A Level 1 ‘LOCAL EMERGENCY’ will be declared and a ‘STATE OF EMERGENCY’ may be declared. Further, a ‘PRESIDENTIAL DECLARATION OF DISASTER OR EMERGENCY’ may also be requested. The MACC will be fully activated. During emergency operations, and upon MACC activation, MACC staff will assemble and exercise direction and control, as outlined below. 1. The on-scene Incident Commander may establish an on-scene command post at the scene to maintain close contact and coordinate resources with the MACC. 2. The MACC will be activated by the County Emergency Manager, who may assume or designate the role of MACC Manager. While the on-scene Incident Commander retains tactical control of the incident, the MACC Manager assumes responsibility for coordinating and prioritizing County resources in support of emergency operations. 5-5
