Multi-region Response
You can designate a provider specifically for use during multi-regional incidents. Typically, this provider facility is designated as an Aerial Point of Embarkation or Debarkation (APOE/APOD). For this point of transfer, be certain to select the Regional Embarkation/Debarkation Point check box. In addition, consider specifying the following:
Field | Description |

Labels* | Type of facility and/or type of services your facility/agency provides Examples: Long-term Care, Public Health, Hospital |
