Incident Command System (ICS) Structure
Incident Command System (ICS) Structure : "In the abstract, the ICS appears to exhibit many of the hallmarks of bureaucracy identified by Weber (1947). The system is highly formalized, characterized by extensive rules, procedures, policies, and instructions. Jobs within the system are specialized, are based on standeardized routines, and require particularized training. Positions are arranged hierarchically aned related to one another on the basis of formal authority. Basic system objectives and plans are established at or near the top of the hierarchy and used as bases for decisions and behaviors at lower levels".
