SHARING OF RESOURCES The process of sharing resources with other healthcare organizations outside of the community during a regional event would go through the Regional Hospital Command Center (RHCC) and/or the county EOC. The number for the RHCC located in the Pima County Emergency Operations Center is 798-0600. Those resources will be tracked by county, or the State of Arizona, if necessary. The Pima County EOC will be responsible for delivery of the needed resources. Involvement of the Community A multi-agency coordination system (MAC) has been put into place and involves the regional hospitals, healthcare clinics, Pima County Public Health Department, fire departments, Pima County Office of Emergency Management. A MAC is a combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications integrated into a common system with responsibility for coordinating and supporting incident management activities. The primary function of the MAC is to:  Support incident management policies and priorities Facilitate logistics support and resource tracking Provide information regarding resource allocation decisions to incident management personnel in concert with incident management priorities Coordinate incident-related information Coordinate interagency and intergovernmental issues regarding incident management policies, priorities, and strategies.
