Activate GRP
Geographic Response Plans (GRP) can be prepopulated with information necessary to protect pre-determined areas. Users can activate those areas and bring the related information into an incident. GRPs can be activated from several locations in WebIAP Software. They can be activated from the Activate GRP form or anywhere the Areas button 
is available (Areas of Operation, ICS 204, ICS 213RR, ICS 215). GRPs are often activated from the Areas of Operation screen. For more information, see the Areas of Operation page. For help on using general form functions (e.g. Create/Open Version, Save, etc.) and accessing preloaded versions, see the General Form Functions page.
