Incident Detection. Any HCPH staff who become aware of an incident requiring or potentially requiring activation of the ERP are to immediately notify their supervisor. Incidents that meet one or more of the following criteria may potentially lead to activation of the ERP: • Anticipated impact on or involvement of divisions beyond the currently involved division(s), with an expectation for significant, interdivision coordination; • Potential for escalation of either the scope or impact of the incident; • Novel, epidemic or otherwise unique situation that likely requires a greater-than-normal response from HCPH; • Need for resources or support from outside HCPH; • Significant or potentially significant mortality or morbidity; • The incident has required response from other agencies, and it is likely to or has already required response from the local jurisdiction’s health department.
