Beyond Initial Response: Using the National Incident Management System's Incident Command System - Softcover
Synopsis
This book follows all NIMS ICS (National Incident Management System--Incident Command System) processes and principles. Beyond Initial Response was written to fill a significant gap in ICS training. Critical ICS position-specific training is difficult to get, yet responders have the responsibility to effectively operate in an ICS organization. This book removes the gap, instills confidence, knowledge and assurance that is required to be successful in an ICS command.
Major focus areas: 1) the ICS Planning Process discussed in extensive detail, 2) ICS positions (13 critical positions thoroughly covered in depth), and 3) Unified Command: what it takes to be successful.
This book is an invaluable reference tool that contains numerous job aids, checklists, illustrations and sample documents enabling the user to seamlessly work within the Incident Command System. In addition, it is an excellent support source for ICS training, contingency planning and response operations.
Beyond Initial Response should be within arms length whether you are training or deploying.

Chapter 2 Incident Command System Planning Process
When most people think of an image of the Incident Command System (ICS) they usually have the ICS organizational chart squarely situated in their mind. Common terminology, including standard terminology for organizational elements, is one of the cornerstones of ICS and it s drummed into our heads early and often. However, another equally important cornerstone of the Incident Command System is the ICS Planning Process. Like common terminology, the ICS Planning Process establishes a common method for developing and implementing tactical plans to efficiently and effectively manage an emergency response or a planned event such as a city parade.
The ICS Planning Process transcends the different processes that agencies use in their day-to-day operations and provides a common process for all responders to use to work toward the successful resolution of an incident. Most of us have probably experienced the uncomfortable feeling you get when you re engaged in an activity where you do not know the "rules of the game." Not only are you uncomfortable, but you re not nearly as effective, standing on fringes of the activity instead of being a part of the work effort. The goal of this chapter is to provide you with an overview of the ICS Planning Process that will give you an overall understanding of how it works. Read some of the ICS position-specific chapters such as Chapter 6 on the Operations Section Chief and Chapter 7 on the Planning Section Chief to learn about their specific responsibilities in the planning process.
