ICS 300
The Planning "P" is a guide to the process and steps involved in planning for an incident.
The leg of the "P" describes the initial response period: Once the incident being, the steps
are:
-Notifications
-Initial Response and Assessment
-Agency Administrator Briefing
-Incident Briefing using ICS Form 201
-Initial Incident Command (IC)/Unified Command (UC) Meeting. - correct answer-
The Planning "P" is a guide to the process and steps involved in planning for an incident.
At the top of the leg of the "P" is the beginning of the first operational planning period cycle.
IN this circular sequence, the steps are:
-IC/UC Develop/Update Objectives Meeting
-Strategy Meeting/Command General Staff Meeting
-Preparing for the Tactics Meeting
-Tactics Meeting
Preparing for the Planning Meeting
-Planning Meeting
-IAP Prep and Approval
-Operations Briefing - correct answer-The next step is Execute Plan and Assess Progress,
after which the cycle begins again
NIMS Components & ICS
The application of the guidance for all three components is vital to successful NIMS
implementation:
-Describes standard mechanisms to systematically manage resources, including personnel,
equipment, supplies, teams, and facilities, both before and during incidents in order to allow
organizations to more effectively share resources when needed
- describes leadership roles, processes and recommended organizational structures for
incident management at the operational and incident support levels and explains how these
structures interact to manage incidents effectively and efficiently.
-describes systems and methods that help ensure that incident personnel and other decision
makers have the means and information they need to make and communicate decisions. -
correct answer-Resource Management
Command and Coordination
Communications and Information Management
___ Mean that personnel:
-report to only one supervisor
, -receive work assignments and take directions only from that one person - correct
answer-Unity of Command
-used when exchanging incident or event information
- not used for formal requests for additional resources or for tasking working assignment
Examples:
-Operations talking directly to Safety
-Liaison talking to Operations
-Logistics may directly contact Resources to determine the number of persons requiring
feeding.
-Finance/Admin may directly discuss and share information on alternative strategies with
planning - correct answer-Informal Communications
___ follows the chain of command and as the incident organization grows to meet the needs
of the incident, care must be taken to ensure that information transfer is handled effectively.
___ requires that orders, directives, resource requests, and status changes must follow the
hierarchy of command unless otherwise directed
Use when:
-Receiving/Giving work assignments
-Requesting support or additional resources
-Reporting progress of assigned tasks - correct answer-Formal Communication
Using Common Terminology helps to define:
-Organizational Functions
-Incident facilities
---The field location at which the primary tactical-level, on-scene incident command functions
are performed
---The location where resources can be placed while awaiting a tactical assignment.
---The location where primary logistics functions are coordinates. There is only one ___ per
incident. The Incident Command Post May be collocated with the incident base
---A location where food, water, rest and sanitary services are provided to incident
personnel.
-Resource Descriptions
-Positions Titles - correct answer-Command Post
Staging Area
Incident Base
Camp
Modular Organization
The modular concept is based on:
-The organization matches the function to be performed and the resources that must be
managed
