 THE INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM S.C.I.

• It is an organization capable of resolving and minimizing

the damage caused by any incident that affects the
environment and its surroundings, both human and
material, and which is summoned when an incident is
known. It can be local, regional, national or
international.

• For Latin America, the SIC is considered new and until

now it has been known and implemented in the business
sphere and in the National System for Disaster
Prevention and Response, with the cooperation of the
United States Office of Disaster Assistance (OFDA).
This System then displaces the previous management
schemes such as the SUME (Unified System for
Emergency Management).
OBJECTIVE OF THE S.C.I.

Establish an organized response

mechanism (S.C.I.) to an emergency
warning with the participation of
society through the implementation
of actions that allow controlling and
minimizing the damage of the
incident to preserve human life,
nature and property.
 When is the SCI applied?

• The ICS must be applied to any incident,

event or operation. It is useful for preparing
the scene and resources before the
probability of an incident occurring. If the
incident has occurred, the ICS starts from
the arrival of the first unit on the scene. This
will ensure better preparation and an
organized response. The daily use of the ICS
is an excellent training that provides
familiarity with the system and its
procedures. Thus, in incidents that require
more resources, there will be an easier and
more efficient administration of personnel,
equipment and tools.
 The Incident Command System is based on eight functions

• I send

• Planning

• Operations

• Logistics

• Administration and finance

• Security

• Public information

• Link
UNIFIED COMMAND (UC):

It is a principle of the SCI based on the

characteristic of command, agreed in
the protocol and previously established.
It occurs when two or more institutions
or organizations are involved in an
incident that have technical, legal and
jurisdictional competence over the
coordination and/or care of the
incident, previously established in the
protocols. No institution loses its
authority, responsibility and obligation
to render accounts.
ICS STRUCTURE
• It starts from a functional structure where the IC is the
one who initially assumes all the functions. As the
incident unfolds and more resources arrive, it will be
necessary to delegate functions and establish levels to
maintain your span of control.

• When the IC delegates functions of Security, Public

Information and/or Liaison they are known as Command
Staff and when it delegates functions of Planning,
Operations, Logistics and Administration and Finance
they are called Sections or General Staff, these can be
divided into smaller functions. The ICS structure has the
ability to expand or contract to suit the needs of the
incident.
