When meeting with your emergency response team, you may hear the acronym “ICS.” The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazards incident management approach that:

• Allows for the integration of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure.
• Enables a coordinated response among various jurisdictions and functional agencies, both public and private.
• Establishes common processes for planning and managing resources.

ICS is flexible and can be used for incidents of any type, scope, and complexity.
