At the State level, decision-making authority and <br />commitment of state assets is retained at the SEOC by the <br />SERT Leader, or some other designee within the DCA. The <br />SERT Leader may issue mission assignments to the lead <br />agencies of the state ESFs. Mission assignments and <br />mutual aid agreements, brokered by the state, are tracked <br />in the SEOC by a staff person reporting to the SERT Leader. <br />b. In the event of federal assistance, a SCO will be appointed <br />to interface directly with the federal government. <br />Depending on the complexity of the event and the need to <br />broaden span -of -control, the SCO may be supported and <br />assisted by the GAR and Deputy SCOs for Response and <br />Recovery. The Deputy SCOs are responsible for ensuring <br />close coordination between federal and state <br />representatives and anticipating the needs and conflicts in <br />the operation as it progresses. <br />Indian River County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Basic Page 62
