Scenario: You are working on a project or task and suddenly an incident happens. Incident Now you have to deal with this distraction so that your original project can continue.

When it goes bad – Incident Command System (ICS) Standardization of Terminology Command (someone is in charge) Planning/Organizational Structure Management By Objectives Incident Action Plan (IAP) Modular organization Manageable span of control Facilities and Resources Communications/Information Management Professionalism

ICS and Project Management Initiating Planning Executing Monitoring and Controlling Closing Incident Response: Size up Incident Action Plan Implement Briefings Demobilization Apply these tenants to anything: Thanksgiving Civil War Earthquake

Strengths of ICS Focuses on safety of personnel, then incident resolution Integrate personnel from different organizations Understand the same structure Job descriptions are standardized Modular – only activate the parts you need Chain of command – by position, not by job title Span of Control: 3 – 7 direct reports
