What is the primary alert ECP?

• A. Echo 7
• B. Echo 6
• C. Echo 5
• D. Echo 8

Answer: (A)

In an alert scenario, the first Entry Control Point established to handle immediate access control, reporting, and accountability is designated as the primary alert ECP. This point is chosen for its optimal location, communications link, and ability to interface quickly with the incident command structure, so responders and gate personnel can coordinate efficiently from the outset. Echo 7 is assigned to that role, making it the central hub for initial entry control and status collection during the highest-priority alert. The other Echo points serve as alternates or secondary locations to be used if the primary is unavailable or for different traffic flows. So Echo 7 is the designated primary alert ECP.
