The MAC Group may also include representatives from non-governmental organizations such as businesses and volunteer organizations. During incidents, MAC Groups:• Act as a policy-level body• Support resource prioritization and allocation• Make cooperative multi-agency decisions • Enable decision making among elected and appointed officials and the Incident Commander responsible for managing the incident.
