What happens during full deactivation of the EOC?

During full deactivation of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), the correct process is to place the EOC back to a normalcy state. This phase signifies that the response and coordination for the incident has concluded, and the EOC can return to its regular operations or a state of readiness for future events. This process involves ensuring that all documentation is completed, lessons learned are recorded, resources are accounted for, and the facility is prepared for its regular use again.

Reverting to a normalcy state is essential for ensuring that the organization can effectively resume its routine operations while maintaining the readiness to respond to future emergencies. It allows for the transition from a crisis-focused environment back to standard functions, which is critical for the long-term capacity of the organization.

The other options suggest different scenarios that are not typically part of the full deactivation process, such as permanently closing the EOC, which would imply shutting it down entirely rather than returning it to a functional state. Transitioning to a training phase might happen but is not the immediate focus of full deactivation. Dismissing the EOC staff could occur, but it is usually a part of the overall normalcy process rather than a standalone event.
