GENERAL FUNCTIONS OF INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM

ICS HAS 3 PRIMARY PURPOSES:
 To provide for the orderly and predictable division of labor
 To provide for the overall safety at the incident or event
 To ensure that the work at the incident or event is performed efficiently
and effectively.

Page | 7
ICS is a fundamental form of management established in a standard format,
with the purpose
of enabling incident managers to identify the key concerns associated with the
incident—often under
urgent conditions—without sacrificing attention to any component of the
command system. ICS is
used to organize on-scene operations for a broad spectrum of emergencies from
small to complex
incidents, both natural and manmade.
The field response level is where emergency management / first response
personnel, under the
command of an appropriate authority, carry out tactical decisions and
activities in direct response to
an incident. Resources from the National, Provincial, Municipal, or other local
levels, when
appropriately deployed, become part of the field ICS as prescribed by the local
authority.
As a system, ICS is extremely useful; not only does it provide an organizational
structure for incident
management, but it also guides the process for planning, building, and
adapting that structure. Using
ICS for every incident or planned event helps hone and maintain skills needed
for the large-scale
incidents.
