Identify Requirements

During an incident, personnel continually identify, validate, and refine resource needs. The process involves identifying:

Type and quantity of resources needed
Location where resources should be sent
Who will receive and use the resources

Because the type and quantity of resources required and their availability changes as an incident progresses, incident management personnel and organizations should identify and coordinate resources as closely and as early as possible, both in advance of and during incidents.
