WHAT IS <strong>ICS</strong>? (CONT.)<br />

<strong>USING</strong> <strong>ICS</strong> <strong>TO</strong> <strong>MANAGE</strong> <strong>SPECIAL</strong> <strong>EVENTS</strong><br />

• An advantage of using <strong>ICS</strong> during a planned special event is that it helps to communicate and<br />

coordinate how decisions will be made.<br />

• Flexibility is important, especially if the event plan requires adjustment because of unexpected<br />

situations or changing circumstances.<br />

• <strong>ICS</strong> affords the lead agency the authority to make the adjustments that are needed, even if there may<br />

not be time to meet with all stakeholders to develop a consensus on how to modify the plan.<br />

Using <strong>ICS</strong> also facilitates coordinated operations, public information, and logistics activities before,<br />

during, and after the event.<br />
