The Incident Commander declares the initial Emergency Level in order to immediately communicate and activate internal response resources. Following this, the Incident Commander must immediately contact the Lead Regulatory Agency to confirm the Emergency Level and clarify the specifics of the incident. Once the situation improves, the Incident Commander must consult with the Lead Regulatory Agency before making any decision to downgrade or stand-down an emergency.
