Resource Management During an Incident Overview

The graphic depicts the resource management process during an incident; this process describes the six resource management tasks performed in an incident.

The resource management process includes methods to identify, order, mobilize, track, demobilize, and reimburse and restock resources during an incident.

While in a small incident the Incident Commander may order resources directly, in more complex incidents the Incident Commander relies on the resource management process and personnel to identify and meet resource needs.
