MIPL Emergency Management Program

Incident Management System
MIPL utilizes the Incident Command System (ICS) for incident and emergency response. The basic organization is outlined below in Figure 2. ICS is a standardized approach to the command, control, and coordination of emergency response providing a common hierarchy within which first responders from multiple agencies can be effective. The scale of the emergency will determine if the event is handled solely by one person, one team, or all components. The size or number of response roles activated will depend on the requirements of the emergency. Additionally, response roles may be filled by responders from outside agencies and/or support services. Therefore, the number of response positions assigned to our representatives will be based upon the number of available personnel and the roles necessary to carry out the response. Responders may also fill more than one response role until additional responders arrive and are briefed on their assigned responsibilities.

Incident Command Team
The Incident Command Team is directly involved in responding to incidents and emergencies at the field site. They implement the Emergency Procedures Manual and provide tactical command, focusing on worker safety, public safety, and site response/control measures. The Incident Commander manages the response efforts assigned to the Incident Command Team.
