NRG Control Team

INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM Incident Command System (ICS) is the standardized method of managing emergency response. Government agencies will normally use it for any significant events, or any time two or more agencies are responding to an emergency

WHY? So our command center is instantly recognizable by emergency responders. For added credibility It identifies the functions we need.

A control team for every neighborhood? It will manage the neighborhood’s response and provide liaison to other neighborhoods and public safety officials Basic functions are command, communications, and control, which are common to all emergency response

Incident Command System ICS is both flexible and modular. The management system will expand and contract according to changes in the level of response effort. Management might be one person – or a hundred. We do not plan on ever expanding its ICS to full scale. We simply do not have the personnel and equipment that would warrant such a management effort.

The following job titles are specific. They ought to be used correctly and completely so they will be immediately understood by any professional emergency responder.
