Priority is determined by multiplying Operation Rank by Area Rank
Priority is 1 to 100, highest priority to lowest priority.
A priority of 1 to 4 should receive a response within four hours.
A priority of 5 to 16 should receive a response within one working day.
A priority of 17 to 48 should receive a response within three working days.
A priority of 49 to 64 should receive a response within ten working days.
A priority of 65 to 80 should receive a response within fifteen working days.
A priority of 81 to 100 will be placed on the long term schedule, a response to be determined.
(Please note that a response is not a repair. When possible a repair will be made when the response occurs; however, depending on the scenario, the repair may be made at a later time.)
