ABOUT INCIDENT COMMAND

“In a complex response situation such as a hazmat spill, terrorist event or flood, it
is unlikely
that any one agency will be able to manage the situation alone. Response
operations may
require a large number of resources from many different agencies and jurisdictions.

“An important issue is how these resources are organized and managed so that all
players
work together effectively. A common organizational structure must be in place so
that
decision-making will be coordinated and the response timely and effective.”

ABOUT THE VIDEO

“"I.C.S." describes the basic organizational structure established at most
incidents, shows
the relationship of federal, state, and private sector officials, and explains how
unified
command is set up and operated. It explains the importance of having a written,
user friendly
plan in place that establishes standardized procedures to be used at routine as
well as
critical incidents. The video stresses the importance of defining roles and resource
channels
in the plan, and preparing emergency response organizations to understand and
use the
plan
in a spirit of cooperation and trust.

“The structure of the incident command system is described, including staff
positions and the
four sections: Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Administration & Finance. The
role of the
incident commander is detailed, including assuming command, transfer of
command, and
developing response objectives. Other topics covered are establishing the
command post
and emergency operations center(s); communications; size-up issues, securing
the area and
setting up control zones.”
