Establishes common processes for planningand management of resources. Allows for integration within a commonorganizational structure. (Dynamic structure– not identical for every incident)Visual 1.7Course OverviewWhen Is ICS Used?ICS can be used tomanage: Natural hazards. Technologicalhazards. Human-causedhazards. Planned events.Visual 1.8Course OverviewWhat Is an Incident?An incident is . . . . . an occurrenceor event, natural orhuman-caused, thatrequires a responseto protect life orproperty.Visual 1.9Course Overview3

Lessons LearnedWithout ICS, incident responsestypically: Lack accountability. Have poor communications. Use unsystematic planningand managementprocesses. Are unable to efficiently integrateresponders. Fail to develop anEmergency Operations PlanVisual 1.13Course OverviewICS BenefitsICS helps to ensure: The safety ofresponders, workers,and others.
