Activation of LDMG                                      Timely activation of the LDMG is critical. The LDMG will activate
                                                        in response to an actual or perceived threat of a disaster event
                                                        which will likely have significant community consequences and
                                                        requires a coordinated response and / or recovery effort.

                                                        The decision to activate is based upon defined triggers and the
                                                        perceived level of threat.

                                                        The authority to activate the LDMG is at the discretion of the
                                                        LDMG Chair in consultation with the Local Disaster Coordinator
                                                        (LDC) based on the nature and scale of the event. The LDMG
                                                        Chair will consult with the full membership where time permits.

                                                        The LDC is responsible for managing disaster operations and
                                                        implementing the strategic direction set by the LDMG.
