Be specific as to the need.Use plain language and common terminology for resources, and indicateresource category, kind, and type (if available or known) to facilitateincident support.If critical resources are listed in this block, there should be correspondingorders placed for them through appropriate resource ordering channels.Provide critical resource needs in 12-, 24-, 48- and 72-hour increments.List the most critical resources needed for each timeframe, if needs havebeen identified for each timeframe. Listing critical resources by the timethey are needed gives incident support personnel a “heads up” for shortrangeplanning, and assists the ordering process to ensure theseresources will be in place when they are needed.More than one resource need may be listed for each timeframe. Forexample, a list could include:o 24 hrs: 3 Type 2 firefighting helicopters, 2 Type I Disaster MedicalAssistance Teamso 48 hrs: Mobile Communications Unit (Law/Fire)o After 72 hrs: 1 Type 2 Incident Management TeamDocumentation in the <strong>ICS</strong> 209 can help the incident obtain criticalregional or national resources through outside support mechanismsincluding multiagency coordination systems and mutual aid.o Information provided in other blocks on the <strong>ICS</strong> 209 can help tosupport the need for resources, including Blocks 28, 29, 31–38, and40–42.o Additional comments in the Remarks section (Block 47) can also helpexplain what the incident is requesting and why it is critical (forexample, “Type 2 Incident Management Team is needed in threedays to transition command when the current Type 2 Team timesout”).Do not use this block for noncritical resources.Wording should be consistent with Block 39 to justify critical resourceneeds, which should relate to planned actions in the Incident Action Plan.Give a short assessment <strong>of</strong> the likelihood <strong>of</strong> meeting the incidentmanagement targets, given the current management strategy andcurrently known constraints.Identify when the chosen management strategy will succeed given thecurrent constraints. Adjust the anticipated incident managementcompletion target in Block 43 as needed based on this discussion.Explain major problems and concerns as indicated.
