IS700 NIMS Course Summary Summary of Course Content Lesson 3: Command and Management Under NIMS-Part 2 Lesson Overview While ICS has proven itself to be effective for all types of incidents, other levels of coordination may be required to facilitate management of: · Multiple concurrent incidents. . Incidents that are nonsite specific, such as biological terrorist incidents. · Incidents that are geographically dispersed. · Incidents that evolve over time. Unified and Area Command In some situations, NIMS recommends variations in incident management. The two most common variations involve the use of Unified Command and Area Command. Unified COmmand (Fire, Police. EMS, Public Works) ( Operations } Ptanning logistics Financel Administration What Is Unified Command Unified Command is an application of ICS used when: . There is more than one responding agency with responsibility for the incident. · Incidents cross political jurisdictions. For example, a Unified Command may be used for: A hazardous materials spill that contaminates a nearby reservoir. In this incident, the fire department, the water authority, and the local environmental authority may each participate in a Unified Command. . A flood that devastates multiple communities. In this incident, incident management personnel from key response agencies from each community may participate in a Unified Command. How Does Unified Command Work? Under a Unified Command, agencies work together through the designated members of the Unified Command to: · Analyze intelligence information. . Establish a common set of objectives and strategies for a single Incident Action Plan. Unified Command does not change any of the other features of ICS. It merely allows all agencies with responsibility for the incident to participate in the decisionmaking process. NIMS Page 8
