USING ICS TO MANAGE SPECIAL EVENTS The advantages of using a Unified Command include: • A single set of objectives developed for the entire event or incident. • A collective approach made to develop strategies to achieve event or incident goals. • Improved information flow and coordination among all jurisdictions and agencies involved in the IAP. • An understanding among agencies of respective priorities and restrictions regarding responsibility for the IAP. • No compromise or neglect of an agency’s authority or legal requirements. • An awareness among agencies of respective plans, actions, and constraints. • An optimized combined effort of all agencies performing their respective assignments under a single IAP. • A reduction or elimination of duplicate efforts, thus reducing cost and chances for frustration and conflict. Using Unified Command is practical and cost-effective. Agencies can improve incident management and achieve goals in a timely, cost-effective manner. For example, the Public Works Department has responded to a water line break. While other agencies may be involved, the incident is mainly a public works responsibility. The Incident Commander would be from the Public Works Department. V-42 SPECIAL EVENTS CONTINGENCY PLANNING — STUDENT MANUAL
Note that: INCIDENT ACTION PLANNING USING ICS TO MANAGE SPECIAL EVENTS • Every event needs an Incident Action Plan (IAP). An IAP may be written or oral, although it’s best if written. • IAPs must cover strategic goals, tactical objectives, and needed support for a specified period, such as 12 hours. If an event is prolonged, it may require more than one IAP. If the gathering is large and multiple events are taking place simultaneously, one feature of the IAP may be an event timeline showing the sequence of events and their locations. Regardless of whether the event command structure is a Single Command or a Unified Command, a single planning process will be implemented that results in the development of an IAP.
