Managing Expanding Events: Mastering ICS (Incident Command System)
Incident Command System (ICS), a National Incident Management System (NIMS) component, is the federally accepted standard for the coordinated response and management of planned events and unplanned emergencies. ICS is the scalable organizational framework for coordinating resources, from university move-in to football game day to NCAA championships. Drawing on professional experience in event parking and emergency management, this presentation will review and share examples of the critical features of ICS.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize how ICS became the standard for emergency management across the country and articulate the benefits of the system.
- Identify and define the five major management functions of the ICS model and explain scalability.
- Differentiate between an emergency and an event.
