The aim of the National EOC described as 'facilitating the request for and allocation of additional resources from neighboring regions during a disaster' is known as:

AInformation Management and Dissemination

BOverseeing Emergency Operations

CResource Mobilization

DEnsuring Effective Communication and Warnings

Answer:

C. Resource Mobilization

Read Explanation:

Resource Mobilization is the process of identifying, acquiring, and deploying essential resources during an emergency. The National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) plays a crucial role in this by acting as the central point for managing resources at a national level.

When a state's own resources are overwhelmed by a disaster, it sends a request to the NEOC. The NEOC then assesses the needs and coordinates with other states, Union Territories, or national agencies (like the NDRF, Armed Forces, etc.) to mobilize and allocate the required resources. This ensures that aid reaches the most affected areas quickly and efficiently, preventing delays that could lead to further loss of life and property.
