The five management functions of the Incident Command System of an incident are:
1.Incident Command – Sets the incident objectives, strategies, and priorities and has overall responsibility for the incident.
2.Operations – Conducts operations to reach the incident objectives.
3.Planning – Supports the incident action planning process by tracking resources, and collecting/analyzing information.
4.Logistics – Provides resources and needed services to support the achievement of the incident objectives.
5.Finance & Administration Monitors costs related to the incident (NIMS).
Case Assignment
NRF
Rank order (in order of priority) the 14 core capabilities of the NRF. Explain why you rank ordered 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Be specific.
Explain how the United States conducts an all-hazards response in the five preparedness mission areas of prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and disaster recovery.
NIMS
When would a Deputy Incident Commander (Deputy IC) be necessary? Give examples.
In The missing piece of NIMS: Teaching incident commanders how to function in the edge of Chaos, the author notes that first responders have to deal with a disaster situation already unfolding, and not “all the pieces fit together nicely.” The author writes about the Five Tenets of Working in Chaos. Please paraphrase each one using your own words.
