Technician Module 2 Unit 5 Slide 7
Incident Command System
Incident Command System (ICS) is a
management system used to organize
emergency response. ICS offers a
scalable response to an emergency
(incident) of any magnitude, and
provides a common framework within
which people can work together.
Technician Module 2 Unit 5 Slide 8
Examples of where to use ICS
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Fire, both structural and wild land.
Medical, when there are multiple patients
Inter-agency, where different agencies must work together
Natural disasters, such as tornadoes, floods, ice storms or
earthquakes.
Human, animal and plant disease / pest outbreaks.
Search and rescue missions.
Hazardous materials incidents.
Criminal acts and crime scene investigations.
Terrorist incidents, including the use of weapons of mass
destruction.
National Special Security Events, such as Presidential
visits or the Super Bowl.
Other planned events, such as parades or demonstrations.
Technician Module 2 Unit 5 Slide 9
How ICS Helps
• Meets the needs of incidents of any kind
• Allows personnel from various agencies
to mold into a common management
structure
• Provides logistical and administrative
support to operational staff
• Is cost effective by avoiding duplication
of efforts
Technician Module 2 Unit 5 Slide 10
History of ICS
The Incident Command System (ICS) was
developed in the 1970s following a
series of catastrophic fires in
California's urban interface. Property
damage ran into the millions, and many
people died or were injured.

Levels of Incident Command
The following are descriptions and
responsibilities of all the levels of
incident Command.
These are standard descriptions and can
be used as they are listed here in your
own Field Operations Guide (FOG).
Technician Module 2 Unit 5 Slide 13
Command Element
On most incidents, a single Incident
Commander carries out the Command
activity. The Incident Commander is
selected through pre-designation,
qualifications, or experience.
Technician Module 2 Unit 5 Slide 14
Unified Command
While a single Incident Commander
normally handles the command
function, an ICS organization may be
expanded into a Unified Command for
complex responses which cross
jurisdictional boundaries or involve
multiple agencies with geographic or
functional jurisdiction.

standard forms for classroom
discussion and real world use.
Technician Module 2 Unit 5 Slide 28
ICS at WMD Scene
The WMD Tech with the increased knowledge
about the Incident Command System, should
know how to implement the ICS that the
department has in it’s emergency Response
Plan. WMD Techs should also have the skill
and knowledge to serve not only as the
Safety Officer but also be able to serve as the
emergency operations officer for on-scene
activities.
Technician Module 2 Unit 5 Slide 29
Emergency Response Plans
The State of Ohio has an ERP. This plan coordinates
state assets when they are needed to supplement local
responders. Ohio’s Homeland Security and Emergency
Management Agency is responsible for maintaining and
coordinating this plan.
Technicians should be aware that if local HazMat
resources are exhausted additional resources can be
obtained through mutual aid agencies, by agreements
already in place throughout the stat
Technician Module 2 Unit 5 Slide 30
Medical Monitoring
The Incident Commander should ensure
that there is an appointed person for
coordination of the necessary medical
monitoring protocols. This most likely
would be conducted with and appointment
of an emergency medical manager by the
incident commander for those responders
entering and leaving the hot and warm
zones.
Technician Module 2 Unit 5 Slide 31
Asset Acquisition
WMD Techs should be aware of the
resources that are available around
them locally, regionally , statewide and
Federally.

Public Information
Each agency will have differences with how
they handle the releases of public
information. It is important for the Incident
Commander to appoint a dedicated person to
speak on behalf of the incident so that the
same message is being transmitted to the
media and the public with reference to the
incident and how it is being handled and any
special instructions that may be needed.
Technician Module 2 Unit 5 Slide 34
Risk Reduction
As a part of the on going evaluation processes
of the incident, there is a constant need to
weigh the evaluations looking for any risks
that arise. If a particular risk is observed or
noted, it is the responsibility of the appointed
risk manager to assess the extent to which the
risk exists and give the incident command
reduction recommendations for a safer
operation.
