The
Southern Area Coordination Center (SACC) is a key player in the
National Incident Management System, developed to coordinate and
provide support in emergency situations. SACC is the focal point
for mobilizing resources such as aircraft, crews, equipment, and
personnel within the Southeastern U.S. (as well as to other parts
of the country), in support of wildland fires and emergency/disaster
relief efforts. Located in Atlanta, GA, the Center is one of 11
Geographic Area Coordination Centers throughout the United States
that work in concert with the National Interagency Coordination
Center. In addition to resource mobilization, SACC's other main
role is providing Intelligence and Predictive Services products
to support wildland fire managers and firefighters in the decision
making process.
