EOCs receive senior level guidance from:
A. MAC Groups
B. Incident Command System
C. Joint Information Center
D. Joint Information System (JIS)
Answer
MAC Groups is the correct answer.
MAC Groups provide high-level guidance to EOCs. A Joint Information Center (JIC) manages the Joint Information System (JIS) operations, which guarantees timely and precise public messaging between all responders: ICS, EOC, and MAC Group.
It’s crucial that NIMS structures are interconnected so that the people in different geographic areas who have various roles and responsibilities can cooperate through shared organizational structures, terminology, and processes.
