ICS Accommodating Various Agencies
For this Assignment, write a 3-4 page paper in which you address the
following:
The use of the incident command system is mostly commonly used in daily,
small scale incidents and events by single agency/single resource type
events. Larger scale events or incidents can cross jurisdictional lines
and/or involve a number of agencies that each have some responsibility for
a successful outcome. In many cases however, these different
agencies/entities have conflicting interests. For example, in the airport
crash we examined previously, a number of agencies responded to the
crash and each had their own primary responsibilities. Some of the many
agencies who responded include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Fire Departments – extinguish fire, rescue victims and contain
hazardous materials.
Police Departments – scene & evidence security, criminal investigation,
crowd control
EMS – Patient treatment and transport.
FAA/NTSB – Protect scene and evidence, determine cause of crash
Airport Management – Damage repair, airport security/safety, returning
to normal operations.
Municipal Officials – Responding to resident’s concerns and issues,
sheltering evacuees and those whose homes have been damaged,
restoring community to a state of normalcy.
News Media – obtaining and reporting on the crash & victims
Write a short paper (3-4 pages) and explain how the ICS structure
accommodates the needs of all of these participant agencies.
