MobilizationParking
• Choose an appropriate parking location– Select location based on the nature of the event, weather
and possible evolution of the event. – Consider the safety of personnel who will gather around
the command post– Find a relatively level place to park with a maximum of 3”
difference from front-to-back, or level the unit– Avoid parking directly under overhead power lines or over
gas pipelines– Leave a distance of at least 10 feet on both sides of MCV
to allow full use of awning and Cat-5 connecters
