ECC - Emergency Coordination CentreThe physical location at which the coordination of information and resources to support incident management (on-scene operations) activities normally takes place. An ECC may be a temporary facility or may be located in a more central or permanently established facility, perhaps at a higher level of organisation within a jurisdiction. ECCs may be organised by major functional disciplines (e.g., fire, law enforcement, medical services), by jurisdiction (e.g., Federal, State, regional, tribal, city, county), or by some combination thereof. (Interchangeable with EOC). | |

EEI - Essential Element of InformationIs any critical intelligence information required by intelligence consumers to perform their mission. The EEI are specific to a particular event, thing or other target individual. The EEI are written out in advance as questions by consumers of the EEI information. Then, the EEI questions are used by collectors of the information that may not be in direct contact with the consumer at the time the information is collected. A specific set of EEIs are used by collectors to develop a collection plan to find the answers to the questions in the EEIs. EEIs are also used in non-intelligence fields, such as responders to crisis events or medical emergencies. | |

Emergency Functions are part of the broader framework used by agencies and organisations involved in disaster response to ensure effective coordination and resource management across different sectors. | |
