Definition & Operational Usage
The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized approach to incident management that enables effective coordination of emergency response efforts. It provides a hierarchical structure for organizing personnel, resources, and communication during an incident, ensuring that all responders are working towards a common objective. ICS is used across various emergency services, including firefighting, EMS, and law enforcement.
