Questions about filling and printing ICS forms
Are these official FEMA PDFs?
These are AllFirefighter adaptations based on the FEMA ICS forms linked below. The numbered information blocks are retained and tables can grow. The output is a browser-generated PDF, not the original fillable FEMA PDF. Use the original linked form when your agency requires that layout.
Which forms belong in an Incident Action Plan?
FEMA identifies ICS 202, 203, 204, 205 and 206 as typically included in an IAP; ICS 208 can also be included. Select the documents needed for your incident. Supporting attachments and agency requirements determine the complete package.
Can I print several forms in one PDF?
Select forms in the PDF package section, then choose Print selected / Save PDF. In the browser print dialog, select Save as PDF. ICS 215 uses a landscape page. Review the preview before saving.
Where is my draft saved?
When Remember draft on this device is enabled, entries and the map are saved in this browser on this device. Export draft saves a JSON backup that you can import later. Draft saving can fail if storage is full or blocked; the status message will say so. The generator does not upload your incident entries.
How do I complete an ICS 214 activity log?
Enter the unit, ICS position and home agency, then list personnel and notable activities with dates and times. Add rows as needed. The log is printed with the current incident and operational-period details.
Can I add a map to ICS 201?
Upload a PNG, JPEG or WebP image of your map or sketch. It is processed locally and included in ICS 201 and in exported drafts. You can also leave the map area blank for a hand-drawn sketch.
