<br />IS700 NIMS Course Summary <br /> <br />Summary of Course Content <br /> <br />Communications needs for large incidents may exceed available radio frequencies. <br />Some incidents may be conducted entirely without radio support. In such situations, <br />other communications resources (e.g., cell phones or secure phone lines) may be the <br />only communications methods used to coordinate communications and to transfer large <br />amounts of data effectively. <br /> <br />Accountability <br /> <br />Effective accountability at all jurisdictional levels and within individual functional areas <br />during an incident is essential. To that end, ICS requires: <br /> <br />An orderly chain of command-the line of authority within the ranks of the <br />incident organization. <br />· Check-in for all responders, regardless of agency affiliation. <br />· Each individual involved in incident operations to be assigned only one <br />supervisor (also called "unity of command"). <br /> <br />NIMS Page 7 <br />
