What does the TERT State Coordinator require to initiate the activation process?

The initiation of the activation process by the TERT State Coordinator specifically requires the TERT Request Information. This information is crucial as it provides the necessary details about the event or incident that necessitates the deployment of the TERT (Telecommunications Emergency Response Team).

The TERT Request Information typically includes specifics such as the nature of the emergency, the resources needed, and the timeframe for the response. This structured information allows for an organized and efficient response to the situation, ensuring that the right personnel and equipment are mobilized effectively.

While the other options may have their own roles in the emergency management framework, they are not the primary requirement for starting the activation process with the TERT State Coordinator. For instance, an emergency declaration is an important step that often prompts a range of responses but does not specifically detail the need or context for TERT deployment. Similarly, skills assessments and deployment reviews contribute to the overall preparedness and evaluation processes but are not required to initially activate TERT.
