Marine Incident Command System

The Marine Incident Command System (MICS) is a structured framework used by various agencies to manage and coordinate responses to marine emergencies, such as oil spills, shipwrecks, or search and rescue operations. It organizes personnel, resources, and information to ensure effective communication and decision-making. By establishing clear roles and responsibilities, MICS helps streamline responses and improve safety for responders and affected communities. This system is essential for coordinating efforts between multiple organizations, including government, coast guard, and environmental agencies, to safely and efficiently resolve maritime incidents.
