Incident 66
Incident 66 : Multiple definitions: (1) Any unexpected situation that prompts an organization to activate its emergency operations plan and commence emergency response operations. (2) An unexpected occurrence that requires immediate response actions through an ICS organization (See: "Incident, Emergency"). (FEMA ICS 300, Unit 4). (3) Activity resulting from an actual or impending hazard impact, that requires action by emergency personnel to prevent or minimize loss of life or damage to property and/or natural resources. For organizations other than public safety agencies, this action is generally beyond the normal everyday actions of the organization. The emergency action is managed using the Incident Command System through the organization's Emergency Operations Plan. (4) An occurrence, natural or manmade, that requires a response to protect life or property. Incidents can, for example, include major disasters, emergencies, terrorist attacks, terrorist threats, civil unrest, wildland and urban fires, floods, hazardous materials spills, nuclear accidents, aircraft accidents, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms, tsunamis, war-related disasters, public health and medical emergencies, and other occurrences requiring an emergency response. (NIMS 12/08) In contrast to an "event" as defined in NIMS, an "incident" is an unplanned occurrence. (5) "Under the ICS concept, an incident is an occurrence, either human-caused or by natural phenomena, that requires action by emergency service personnel to prevent or minimize loss of life or damage to property and/or natural resources". (6) Occurrence, caused by either human action or natural phenomena, that may cause harm and that may require action. (DHS Risk Lexicon 9/08)
