| | An Incident Support Base (ISB) is a temporary location for receiving and staging resources (supplies, equipment, and teams) that may be provided to state and local governments. During incidents involving large numbers of commodities or response teams, the regional Logistics Section will stand up and staff an ISB. ISBs are normally pre-identified during response planning, and may be stood up prior to a known event such as an approaching storm. Logistics personnel maintain oversight over the ordering of all resources. Whether received from FEMA distribution centers, other federal agencies (OFAs), private partners, or nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), Logistics personnel are responsible for tracking, receiving, accounting for, staging and organizing, and dispatching resources from the ISB. | |
