Non-Emergency Deployment Request

Purpose: Use this form to initiate a request for a non-emergency deployment of the Missouri MEOC. A non-emergency deployment request is any request received from an authentic Region F public safety entity for an event that is not actively engaged in critical life-safety response, other disaster, or as a pre-planned request for an upcoming event such as a parade, festival, or other large gathering. Non-emergency deployment requests are handled on a first-come, first served, and as-available basis, provided that the mission to be served by the MEOC and crew during the event support the overall mission and training plan of the MEOC. The MEOC is subject to recall from ALL non-emergency deployments immediately if an emergent request is received that conflicts with a non-emergency deployment.
