What is the Incident Command System?
ICS is the management system that directs all operations at the incident scene.
Incident Command is located at an Incident Command Post (ICP) at or close to the incident scene
Unified Command in some cases provides guidelines to enable agencies with different legal, geographic, or functional responsibilities to coordinate, plan, and interact effectively to resolve the emergency

Without an IC problems arise...
What’s the worst decision in an emergency?
Whose in Charge? Be careful you may not like the answer!
“In the absence of any command, someone will take charge!”
NIMS and ICS are designed so the right people are in control and in command with enough knowledge, resources and assets to do the job

Our Goals
Enable all responders to manage energy emergencies more effectively
Communicate clearly at the scene
Cooperate in a positive constructive manner
Coordinating all resources and assets effectively
Finally, Improve the most important thing we all want ‐ Employee and Public Safety!

Incident Command
All incidents have an incident commander (someone in charge)
The first on the scene is generally in charge
In most emergencies control and command is by single individual
Established command and your decisions should focus on the three major priorities
Life safety
Stabilizing the incident
Finally, protecting environment or the property
Get the system started off in the right direction
