    Level 2: Partial

    Level II partial activation is typically limited agency activation.  DEM&HS staff and ESF lead agencies with a role in the incident response are activated and required to report to the EOC. All other ESFs are alerted of the event and are on standby.   The purpose of Level II activation is to initiate preparations due to a significant threat of a disaster or to coordinate response due to the occurrence of a minor disaster.  During Level II activation, the EOC may be operational 24 hours a day.

    During Level II activation, the DEM&HS disseminates information to, and begins to coordinate preparation and response actions with, external agencies, Municipal Branch Representatives, and Miami-Dade County departments tasked in emergency response.   The incident command system (ICS) is implemented and the five (5) sections along with the branches are activated.

    The EOC Command Staff develops and implements an Incident Action Plan (IAP). The IAP is the work plan for everyone, including the Mayor, Manager and their staff.  The EOC personnel are briefed on the IAP and pertinent items are posted on the EOC status boards.  In most cases, the Mission Tracking & Message Control Center, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) services, and the Public Information Officer (ESF - 14) are activated.  Depending upon the event, any appropriate logistical support elements such as security, food unit, 311, etc. are also activated.

    Additional activation levels:
    Level 3: Monitoring & Assessment
    Level III is typically a monitoring and assessment phase where a specific threat, unusual event, or situation, is actively monitored by the DEM&HS. 

    Level 1: Full-Scale
    In a full-scale activation, the EOC is activated on a 24-hour schedule due to an imminent threat or occurrence of a disaster.
