Incident Command System 12
Incident Command System 12 : Coordination: Coordination on any incident or event is possible and effective due to the implementation of the following concepts: (1) Incident action plans: Incident action plans (IAPs) ensure that everyone is working in concert toward the same goals set for that operational period by providing all incident supervisory personnel with direction for actions to be taken during the operational period identified in the plan. Incident Action Plans provide a coherent means of communicating the overall incident objectives for both operational and support activities. They include measurable strategic objectives to be achieved in a time frame called an Operational Period. They may be verbal or written except for hazardous material incidents where it must be written, and are prepared by the Planning Section. The consolidated IAP is a very important component of the ICS that reduces freelancing and ensures a coordinated response. At the simplest level, all Incident Action Plans must have four elements: What do we want to do? Who is responsible for doing it? How do we communicate with each other? What is the procedure if someone is injured?
