12 Essential Functions (continued) 12 Tier II: 12 hours to Two Weeks Must reach an operations status within 12 hours to two weeks of activation Must sustain operations for a minimum of 30 days Tier III: Two Weeks to 30 Days Functions that support Tier I and Tier II Do not need to reach full operation within the first two weeks following an incident
