Advantages in Staging Areas advantages include: Staging Areas more effective accountability allows team leaders to organise and brief teams allows teams a safe area to rest and reorganise improved ability to control and track resources more effective and efficient personnel check-in planning for resource use and contingencies is easier, and reducing traffic congestion. Assembly Area Assembly Areas are managed by Logistics, and used for receiving, organising, storing, and transporting resources. They may be established at local, regional, and national levels. They allow a coordination centre to deal with large volumes of resources. Assembly Areas need to be located away from incident sites, preferably at an established facility. Usually there is one EOC Assembly Area servicing multiple incident sites. An ECC usually has one Assembly Area if road transport is not interrupted, otherwise there may be more, so all areas have access to CDEM Group resources. Assembly Areas may be co-located with other responding agency facilities, to allow response personnel to more easily draw on the resources within the Assembly Area, and to reduce accommodation, catering, and other support requirements. Possible locations for Assembly Areas include: council owned or contractor depots warehouses or distribution centres airports, ports, railway yards, and other transport nodes, and sports grounds.
