The EOP is designed to effectively coordinate the use of College and community resources to protect life and property before, during, and immediately following a major crisis or disturbance at or near Carteret Community College.

The Campus EMAT members may be selected to fulfill Command Staff or Section Chief functions in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) depending on the size and complexity of the incident. The Command Staff shall have training in both Unified Command and functional training to command and coordinate the Campus emergency operations. All other staff will have training commensurate with expected duties.

EMAT will also assist in identifying personnel best suited to fill deputy positions, using job title and description as guidance.

In addition, EMAT members shall ensure National Incident Management and Incident Command Systems compliance training is completed and that all response activities are NIMS and ICS compliant.
