Incident Command
The command function can be carried out in two ways:
• As a Single Command where the Incident Commander has complete responsibility for incident management; • As a Unified Command where one or more other agencies or organizations that have responsibility and/or jurisdiction share incident management.
Single Command
The Incident Commander is in charge of overall field-based emergency response, mobilizing staff to respond, setting objectives and priorities, notifying the on-call response team of the situation, and taking action to ensure the health and safety of personnel and the public and to minimize environmental damage. Therefore, simply put, the Incident Commander is ‘the boss’. Based on known and potential impacts, the Incident Commander may proactively appoint individuals to fill additional ICS roles thereby keeping their workload manageable. Until the Incident Commander delegates others to fill an ICS role, the Incident Commander is expected to perform all necessary ICS command and general staff responsibilities. The Incident Commander coordinates and directs all local response activities. The Incident Commander is responsible for the safety and health of all personnel and the public and for the protection of the environment. The Incident Commander role may be initially filled by the first operations employee on-site, but this is usually transferred to the most senior company representative as they become available.
