City of Pleasanton <br />Emergency Operations Plan <br /> 5 June 2025 <br />are activated as needed: field response, local government, OA regional, and state. Pleasanton has <br />incorporated the use of SEMS into its emergency management program. <br /> <br /> <br />2.2.2 Multi-Agency Coordination System (MACS) <br />The MACS is a part of NIMS and provides the basic architecture for facilitating the allocation of resources, <br />incident prioritization, coordination and integration of multiple agencies for large-scale incidents and <br />emergencies. A MAC Group is made up of administrators or designees authorized to represent or commit <br />agency resources and funds. MAC groups do not have direct involvement in the incident(s) and may <br />function virtually. The principal functions and responsibilities associated with MACS include: <br />• Situation awareness/assessment <br />• Incident priority determination <br />• Critical resource acquisition and allocation <br />• Anticipating/identifying future resource requirements <br />• Coordinating policy issues <br />• Providing strategic coordination <br />• Joint information systems <br />Examples of a MAC Group include policy groups (elected or appointed officials), emergency management <br />committees (emergency managers, first responders, and allied agencies), or multi-agency committees, <br />such as Incident Management Teams (IMT) or Emergency Management Planning Committees. <br />2.2.3 Field Response <br />Field response includes on-scene activities and coordination, consistent with ICS, to make tactical <br />decisions in direct response to the emergency or disaster. The field response is managed through an <br />Incident Command Post (ICP). Resource requests and situation reports are routed from the field to the <br />next SEMS organizational level, either through participating response agencies or the local EOC, if <br />activated. <br />Page 209 of 264
