  6. So, what is an Unusual Event? • Unusual Event means an event beyond ordinary day‐to‐day activities, that do not rise to the level of an emergency but warrant enhanced situational awareness and notification of partners. www.DisasterDoug.com

(cont’d) • Resources are needed beyond the capabilities of the Operational Area and those available through pre‐existing agreements, memoranda or contracts, e.g., day‐to‐day assistance, automatic aid, Memoranda of Understanding, and other types of emergency assistance agreements; • The incident produces media attention or is politically sensitive; • The incident leads to a Regional or State request for information; and • Any time increased information flow from the Operational Area to the State will assist in the management or mitigation of the incident’s impact. www.DisasterDoug.com
