Incident Command System
The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized on-site management system designed to enable effective, efficient incident management by integrating a combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure.
The ICS is used to manage an incident or a non-emergency event, and can be used equally well for both small and large situations.
ICS helps to ensure:
 |
The safety of responders and others. |
|
|
The achievement of response objectives. |
|
|
The efficient use of resources. |
