I-300 Incident Command Review
ICS I-300 Incident Command Review NSF Logo Introduction to audience. Presented By: OCWFCD 1

I-300 COMAND REVIEW This will be brief.
Explain that for an incident with an IC vice a Unified Command, the IC would be the person who set the objectives for the incident. In the case of a Unified Command approach where there is more than one agency with a statutory requirement to oversee the incident the objectives would be set jointly by the members of the Unified Command. This will be brief. Presented By: OCWFCD 2

I-300 COMAND REVIEW Review Organizing & Staffing
I-300 LESSON: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS I-300 COMAND REVIEW OBJECTIVES COMMAND AND CONTROL Review Organizing & Staffing Review Command Operations Review Resource Communication This will be a quick I-300 Module 7,8 & 9 review designed to familiarize students with ICS command and control principles. Q: How did the Incident Command System develop? A: ICS resulted from the need for a new approach to the problems involved in managing rapidly moving wildfires in the early 1970s. ICS was developed by an interagency task force working in a cooperative local, state, & federal interagency effort called FIRESCOPE (Firefighting Resources of California Organized for Potential Emergencies). In 1980, the ICS that was originally developed in California under the FIRESCOPE program made the transition into a national program called NIIMS (National Interagency Incident Management System). NIIMS has become the predominant public domain response management system in use nationwide for a variety of emergency incidents. NIIMS ICS has several components, including a training curriculum, instructor criteria, a qualification system, etc. The Standard Oil Spill Response Management System (STORMS) Task Force comprised of reps from USCG, CA Dept of Fish & Game/Office of Oil Spill Prevention & Response, petroleum industry, oil spill response industry, and local governmental agencies produced the Oil Spill Field Operations Guide (FOG), a reference tool to guide responders in forming a response management system for oil spills based on NIIMS ICS. It should be stressed here that the FOG is just that - a “Field Guide” - a tool to supplement the NIIMS ICS package, not a stand alone NIIMS ICS reference document. Specific training in NIIMS ICS is required for effective implementation. Presented By: OCWFCD

Q: The name used to describe geographic areas of an incident?
I-300 COMAND REVIEW Command Terminology and Structure Q: The name used to describe geographic areas of an incident? Describe when an incident might need to be broken down into geographic divisions. Use an example like a river area or large shoreline area with impacts over a great distance that would need to be broken down into Divisions. Mention that Divisions are designated with a capital letter such as Div A or Div B. A: Divisions – I.E. Division 3 (Third Floor) Presented By: OCWFCD 11

A: Group – I.E. Extrication Group
I-300 COMAND REVIEW Command Terminology and Structure Q: The title used to describe an ICS component with a functional responsibility? Explain that Groups are designated and given a functional responsibility. Give some examples such as a Salvage Group or EMS Group. Explain that groups can operate or be tasked with missions in several Divisions or geographic areas at an incident. A: Group – I.E. Extrication Group Presented By: OCWFCD 12

Q: Single Resources, Task Forces, ICS Strike Teams
I-300 COMAND REVIEW Command Terminology and Structure Q: Single Resources, Task Forces, ICS Strike Teams Discuss the three ways to use resources on an incident. Single resources: An individual, a piece of equipment and it’s personnel complement or a crew or team of individuals with an identified supervisor that can be used on an incident. Task force: A group of resources with common communications and a leader, assembled for a specific mission. Strike Force: A group of like resources with common communications and a leader, assembled for a specific mission. A: Three ways to organize and use ground resources on an incident. Presented By: OCWFCD 13

A: Incident Command Post or ICP
I-300 COMAND REVIEW Command Terminology and Structure Q: The facility where the General Staff are located to carry out their primary duties. Explain that there is only one ICP. In ICS there is a specific definition (page 10-7 of the FOG) of what the ICP is and there can be only one. Other facilites may be located at the incident but should not be called ICP’s to avoid confusion. A: Incident Command Post or ICP Presented By: OCWFCD 14

Objectives--What Strategy--How Tactics--Tasks
I-300 COMAND REVIEW BASIC RESPONSIBILITIES OF COMMAND: Constraints--Limits Objectives--What Strategy--How Tactics--Tasks The constraints on the IC/UC drive the objectives. Objectives are addressed by strategy. Tactics implement the selected strategy or strategies. Presented By: OCWFCD

Limits – I.E. Resources, Weather, Time, Training
I-300 COMAND REVIEW BASIC RESPONSIBILITIES OF COMMAND: “CONSTRAINTS” Limits – I.E. Resources, Weather, Time, Training Presented By: OCWFCD 16

“OBJECTIVES” I-300 COMAND REVIEW BASIC RESPONSIBILITIES OF COMMAND:
What you want to achieve for this response. I.E. – Rescue trapped occupants, extinguish fire, prevent extension. Presented By: OCWFCD 17

RESPONSE OBJECTIVES Why Develop?
I-300 COMAND REVIEW BASIC RESPONSIBILITIES OF COMMAND: RESPONSE OBJECTIVES Why Develop? Communicate what you want to accomplish during the response Objectives become the basis for all response activities Objectives can be as simple as “Put the fire out.” Regardless of the complexity, begin your COMMAND by mentally determining your specific objectives. As an Officer begin your task by mentally determining your objectives and then communicate your progress, obstacles, needs to COMMAND. It is imperative that the IC or UC be able to effectively communicate to the response organization what they want accomplished. If objectives are developed properly they will address all stakeholder’s concerns and be prioritized by the IC or UC. Once developed, objectives become the basis for all response activities. In other words, they “DRIVE” the response. Presented By: OCWFCD

I-300 COMAND REVIEW INCIDENT COMMUNICATION:
If this is how information about the incident gets out you are doing something wrong! Presented By: OCWFCD

I-300 COMAND REVIEW INCIDENT COMMUNICATION:
Why do we need to improve our Communication: Communication exists through every step from beginning, middle, end, and review of every call we respond to. Communication is the back bone of everything we do. +The ICS organizational framework is open for individuals to freely supply and exchange information. Examples: (1) Food Unit Leader can directly contact the Resources Unit to determine the number of persons requiring feeding. (2) Cost Unit Leader may discuss alternative (cost saving) strategies directly with the Planning Section Chief. (3)A Division Supervisor may directly contact the S.U.L. to pass info on an environmental hazard in the division. +The flow of orders and directives in an ICS organization must follow a specific route. (1) A Division Supervisor requesting fuel for resources in the Division would pass the request through the Branch Director or Operations Section Chief to ensure that fuel requests are consolidated before going to Logistics Section. (2) The Ops Section Chief in a Branch org would pass directives to change the status of resources via the Bramch Director to ensure the Director is kept informed of resource status changes. (3) The Situation Unit Leader would request additional personnel via the Planning Section Chief to ensure that any available personnel already working in the Planning section are utilized.
