What are MAC Groups and EOCs formed for?

a) public relations and political reasons

b) resource allocations

c) facilities and operations support

d) command and coordination

Answer:

MAC Groups are formed for their decision-making elements, while EOCs are formed for command and coordination.

Explanation: MAC (Multi-Agency Coordination) Groups are formed for their decision-making elements, while EOCs (Emergency Operations Centers) are formed for command and coordination.

EOCs are centralized facilities used to coordinate and direct emergency response efforts during natural disasters, public health emergencies, or major incidents. They are staffed by representatives from various government agencies, first responders, and other organizations involved in the response effort.

EOCs serve purposes such as decision-making, resource allocation, communications, and coordinating the efforts of multiple agencies or organizations working together in response to an incident.
