An emergency response plan is established with the following structure: 1. A central control room will coordinate overall response operations led by an Incident Controller. 2. A forward command post will coordinate on-scene tactical response operations led by an On-Scene Controller. 3. Response teams will focus on medical support, emergency services, and ensuring everyone's safety during the incident.

1. Emergency Response Team – At Scene Level
• A central control room will be established
1. An Incident Controller (IC) will operate from the Central Control Room (CCR) and coordinate response operations
2. An On-Scene Controller (OSC) that will operate from a Forward Command Post (FCP) and that will coordinate tactical response
operations. In some cases this could be a designated support craft
