ICS is: A Proven Crisis Management System Based on Military and Fire Management Systems Common Language between agencies - (Fire, Police, EMA, Hospitals, Public Health…) Manages routine or planned events Provides logistical and administrative support to operational personnel Improves Communication Flexible, adaptable system
3
NIMS is: Comprehensive federal system directing response agencies to function in an organized manner Established to coordinate: Plans Organization Structure Training and Exercises Resources Communications and Technology
4
NIMS Compliance HSPD-5 issued in 2004
For disaster response agencies and departments, NIMS made a condition for Federal assistance Confusion over initial NIMS compliance for hospitals and healthcare facilities DHS/HRSA letter of May 26, 2006 explains newest issues
5
NIMS Implementation Activities for Hospitals
Similar to expectations placed on government agencies Consists of seven categories and seventeen elements The Hospital Emergency Incident Command System (HEICS) incorporates NIMS terminology, principles and practices
6
NIMS Compliance Adopt NIMS at your agency
Revise disaster plans to incorporate NIMS Become familiar with National Response Plan Adopt ICS (HEICS) and make it a part of your Disaster Response Plan Coordinate with local response agencies and use a Multi-Agency Coordination system Develop Mutual Aid agreements
7
NIMS Compliance Participate in local Public Information Plans
Coordinate and implement federal funding and demonstrate commitments Select personnel need IS 100, 200, 700, and 800 Courses – later in presentation ( NIMS compliance phased in over next 2 years Compliance with first set of objectives is September 30, (Changed from 9/30/06)

NIMS Components Command and Management - ICS

ICS
12
Basic Features of ICS Modular organization Management by objectives
Reliance on an Incident Action Plan (IAP) Chain of command Manageable span of control Unity of command Unified Command
13
History of ICS Weaknesses in incident management before ICS
Lack of accountability Poor communication Lack of a planning process Overloaded Incident Commanders No method to integrate interagency requirements ICS provides an organized system to manage incidents and addresses these weaknesses
14
ICS Terminology Unified Command Sections Divisions Groups Branches
Task Forces Strike Teams Single Resources Transfer of command
15
Unified Command Enables all responsible agencies to manage an incident
Establishes a common set of incident objectives and strategies Allows Incident Commanders to make joint decisions by establishing a single command structure Maintains unity of command Each employee only reports to one supervisor
16
Sections Organizational levels with responsibility for a major functional area of the incident Operations Planning Logistics Finance/Administration The person in charge is the Chief
17
Divisions and Groups Divisions Divide an incident geographically
Is led by a Supervisor Groups Established based on the needs of an incident. Labeled according to the job that they are assigned Managed by a Supervisor Work wherever their assigned task is needed and are not limited geographically
18
Branches and Units Branches
Established if the number of Divisions or Groups exceeds the span of control Have functional or geographical responsibility for major parts of incident operations Managed by a Branch Director Units Organizational elements that have functional responsibility for a specific activity
19
Task Forces Task Forces are a combination of mixed resources with common communications Operate under the direct supervision of a Task Force Leader
20
Strike Teams Strike Teams are a set number of resources
Of the same kind and type With common communications Operate under the direct supervision of a Strike Team Leader
21
Single Resources An individual(s) or piece of equipment with its personnel complement; or, A crew or team of individuals with an identified supervisor
22
ICS Supervisory Titles
Organizational Level Title Support Position Incident Command Incident Commander Deputy Command Staff Officer Assistant General Staff (Section) Chief Branch Director Division/Group Supervisor N/A Unit Leader Manager Strike Team/Task Force Single Resource Boss
23
Transfer of Command Moves the responsibility for incident command from one Incident Commander to another Must include a transfer of command briefing Oral Written Both oral and written

ICS Management Process Tactical Results, Needs,
Incident Occurs Incident Reported & Identified Tactical Response ICS Launched Chiefs Meeting: Develop Strategy & Tactics to Meet Objectives IC Sets Objectives Action Plan Preparation Chiefs & Officers Meet with IC to Evaluate Reports Tactical Response Initiated Operation Reports Tactical Results, Needs, Engage Liaison, Logistics, Planning, Finance for support Planning Evaluates Progress Reports
28
The Five Sections Command = the buck stops here
Planning = creates & develops incident plan Operations = implement the plan. Logistics = supports the plan. Finance = pays for the plan.

58
Using Functions Lists to Build Readiness:
Look at the function – is it something your facility would do? If no, who is responsible for it? If maybe, how would be adjust? If yes, who would undertake this task? How would this task be accomplished? Do you have an Operating Instructions or a Policy/Procedures Guide?
59
Never alter the job title or mission statement.
Job Action Sheets Job Action Sheets: should be customized to your organization but… Never alter the job title or mission statement. Until Later!
