' <br />D. National Incident Management - Incident Command System (ICS) <br />Ver 1.10 <br />08/03 <br />1. We intend to employ ICS in managing emergencies. ICS is both a <br />strategy and a set of organizational arrangements for directing and <br />controlling field operations. It is designed to effectively integrate <br />resources from different agencies into a temporary emergency <br />organization at an incident site that can expand and contract with the <br />magnitude of the incident and resources on hand. A summary of ICS is <br />provided in Attachment 7. The National Incident Management System will <br />be used when outside resources are brought in. <br />2. The incident commander is responsible for carrying out the. ICS function of <br />command -- managing the incident. The four other major management <br />activities that form the basis of ICS are operations, planning, logistics, and <br />finance /administration. For small -scale incidents, the incident <br />commander and one or two individuals may perform all of these functions. <br />For larger incidents, a number of individuals from different departments or <br />agencies may be assigned to separate staff sections charged with those <br />functions. <br />3. An incident commander using response resources from one or two <br />departments or agencies can handle the majority of emergency situations. <br />Departments or agencies participating in this type of incident response will <br />normally obtain support through their own department or agency. — <br />15 <br />
