The FEMA Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazards incident management approach that: * Allows for the integration of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure. * Enables a coordinated response among various jurisdictions and functional agencies, both public and private. * Establishes common processes for planning and managing resources. The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazard incident management concept in the United States. It is a management protocol originally designed for emergency management agencies and later federalized.

The FEMA Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazards incident management approach that: * Allows for the integration of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure. * Enables a coordinated response among various jurisdictions and functional agencies, both public and private. * Establishes common processes for planning and managing resources. ICS is flexible and can be used for incidents of any type, scope, and complexity. ICS allows its users to adopt an integrated organizational structure to match the complexities and demands of single or multiple incidents. ICS is used by all levels of government — Federal, State, tribal, and local — as well as by many nongovernmental organizations and the private sector. ICS is also applicable across disciplines. It is typically structured to facilitate activities in five major functional areas: Command, Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance/Administration. All of the functional areas may or may not be used based on the incident needs. Intelligence/Investigations is an optional sixth functional area that is activated on a case-by-case basis. The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazard incident management concept in the United States. It is a management protocol originally designed for emergency management agencies and later federalized. ICS is based upon a flexible, scalable response organization providing a common framework within which people can work together effectively. These people may be drawn from multiple agencies that do not routinely work together, and ICS is designed to give standard response and operation procedures to reduce the problems and potential for miscommunication on such incidents. ICS has been summarized as a "first-on-scene" structure, where the first responder on a scene has charge of the scene until the incident is resolved or the initial responder transitions incident command to an arriving, more-qualified individual.
