Tiered Response can best be described as incidents that are generally handled at the lowest jurisdictional level. This means that the response to emergencies starts locally, with communities initiating their own response efforts. If an incident escalates beyond local capacity, assistance can be requested from higher levels of government or specialized resources. This approach helps ensure that resources are used efficiently and that incidents are managed as close to the source as possible.
