Incident Officer
Incident Officer : "When the damage caused by enemy action at a specific location is so extensive that a number of services, such as fire, police, medical, and rescue, may be required, and where there might be confusion unless some one in authority exercises coordination and control, the local Director of Civil Defense would dispatch to the incident a representative designated as Incident Officer. At the scene of the incident he would exercise coordination and control over the separate services to the same extent that the Director would exercise if he were present. He would not direct the technical services but he would coordinate their activities". (OCDP, Hopley Report, 1948, 248)
