The GL will need access to other critical equipment and supplies. In some cases, the ESS team may have purchased and stored these items in advance – for example, in a towable trailer — or they may need to obtain these resources from other sources (e.g., support organizations) as indicated in their ESS plan. Some items may be available through the facility.
