Different organizations that are involved, how the organizations interact with or are apart of the EOC/What is the responsibilities of each member to the EOC

These organizations do not have specifically delineated legal responsibilities to the state of Maryland's EOC, other than to serve the citizens of the U.S. In the case of the federal government.

Who activates the EOC at the time of an emergency?
John Droneburg III, the organization's director activities and coordinates the efforts of the above agencies during a time of emergency. (Droneburg, 2006) The state's governor also has special powers during an emergency.
How the EOC responds to an emergency/disaster and coordinates the efforts of all responsible parties/Is there a separate warning system to alert the organizations of an impending emergency/disaster?

What laws if any, enable the EOC to act?
MEMA's authority derives from Article 14 of the Annotated Code of Maryland.

Currently, there are 26 local emergency management offices in Maryland - all 23 counties, along with Annapolis, Baltimore and Ocean City. Article 14 also gives the Governor emergency powers - such as temporarily waiving state laws that may interfere with emergency response operations."
