to, recover from, and mitigate the effects
of incidents regardless of cause, size,
location, or complexity . . .
Why? . . . in order to reduce the loss of life
and property, and harm to the
environment.
What is ICS? - CORRECT ANSWER-The incident command system helps
ensure integration of the response effort, allows all responders to adopt an
integrated organizational structure that matches the complexities and demands
of the incident while respecting agency and jurisdictional authorities.
ICS can be used to manage: - CORRECT ANSWER-• Natural hazards.
• Technological hazards.
• Human-caused hazards.
• Planned events
what is an incident? - CORRECT ANSWER-An incident is an occurrence or
event, natural or human-caused that requires a response to
protect life or property.
What are some rules used by ICS? - CORRECT ANSWER--The Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 established Federal
regulations for handling hazardous materials. SARA directed the Occupational
Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) to establish rules for operations at hazardous
materials
incidents.
• OSHA rule 1910.120, effective March 6, 1990, requires all organizations that
handle
hazardous materials to use ICS. The regulation states: "The Incident Command
System

shall be established by those employers for the incidents that will be under their
control and
shall interface with other organizations or agencies who may respond to such an
incident."
What is NIMS? - CORRECT ANSWER-The National Incident Management
System provides a consistent framework for incident
management at all jurisdictional levels regardless of the cause, size, or
complexity of the
incident. NIMS is not an operational incident management or resource allocation
plan.
what is NIMS and ICS requirements? - CORRECT ANSWER-• Preparedness:
Effective emergency management and incident response activities begin
with a host of preparedness activities conducted on an ongoing basis, in advance
of any
potential incident. Preparedness involves an integrated combination of planning,
procedures and protocols, training and exercises, personnel qualifications and
certification,
and equipment certification.
• Communications and Information Management: Emergency management and
incident
response activities rely upon communications and information systems that
provide a
common operating picture to all command and coordination sites. NIMS
describes the
requirements necessary for a standardized framework for communications and
emphasizes
the need for a common operating picture. NIMS is based upon the concepts of
interoperability, reliability, scalability, portability, and the resiliency and
redundancy of
communications and information systems.
• Resource Management: Resources (such as personnel, equipment, and/or
supplies) are
needed to support critical incident objectives. The flow of resources must be fluid
and

adaptable to the requirements of the incident. NIMS defines standardized
mechanisms and
establishes the resource management process to identify requirements, order
and acquire,
mobilize, track and report, recover and demobilize, reimburse, and inventory
resources.
• Command and Management: The Command and Management component
within NIMS is
designed to enable effective and efficient incident management and coordination
by
providing flexible, standardized incident management structures. The structures
are based
on three key organizational constructs: the Incident Command System,
Multiagency
Coordination Systems, and Public Information.
• Ongoing Management and Maintenance: Within the auspices of Ongoing
Management
a
what happens if ICS is not used? - CORRECT ANSWER-Lack of accountability,
including unclear chains of command and supervision.
• Poor communication, due to both inefficient uses of available communications
systems and
conflicting codes and terminology.
• Lack of an orderly, systematic planning process.
• No common, flexible, predesigned management structure that enabled
commanders to
delegate responsibilities and manage workloads efficiently.
• No predefined methods to integrate interagency requirements into the
management
structure and planning process effectively.
