Purpose: The Activity Log (ICS-214) records details of notable activities at any ICS level, including single resources, equipment, task forces, etc. These logs should be kept at all times for providing basic incident activity documentation, and as a reference for any after-action report. In addition, this form can assist the Time Unit, Cost Unit, and Compensation and Claims Unit in providing accurate reports to other agencies after the incident to document reimbursement claims.

Preparation: An ICS-214 can be initiated and maintained by personnel in various ICS positions as needed or appropriate. Personnel should document how relevant incident activities are occurring and progressing, as well as any notable events or communication. The ICS-214 must be maintained by all supervisors.

Distribution: Completed ICS-214s are submitted to supervisors, who forward them to the Documentation Unit. All completed original forms must be given to the Documentation Unit, which maintains a file of all ICS-214s. It is recommended that individuals retain a copy for their own records.
