Incident Command Systems

Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized approach used by emergency responders to manage and coordinate responses to emergencies, such as fires, natural disasters, or accidents. It provides a clear structure with designated roles and responsibilities, ensuring effective communication, resource management, and decision-making. ICS helps all involved agencies work together efficiently, avoiding confusion and duplication of efforts. Its flexible design allows it to scale to incidents of any size, from small accidents to large-scale disasters, ensuring a coordinated and effective response to protect lives, property, and the environment.
