- correct answer-What Is the Incident Command System?
The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized approach to incident
management that:
Enables a coordinated response among various jurisdictions and agencies.
Establishes common processes for planning and managing resources.
Allows for the integration of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and
communications operating within a common organizational structure.
, - correct answer-Incident Command System: Promoting Response Partnerships
Disaster can strike anytime, anywhere. It takes many forms—a hurricane, an
earthquake, a tornado, a flood, a fire or a hazardous spill, or an act of terrorism. An
incident can build over days or weeks, or hit suddenly, without warning.
A poorly managed incident response can undermine our safety and well being. With
so much at stake, we must effectively manage our response efforts.
Although most incidents are handled locally, partnerships among local, tribal, State,
and Federal agencies as well as nongovernmental and private-sector organizations
may be required.
As partners, we must respond together in a seamless, coordinated fashion.
The Incident Command System, or ICS, helps ensure integration of our response
efforts. ICS is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazards approach to incident
management. ICS allows all responders to adopt an integrated organizational
structure that matches the complexities and demands of the incident while
respecting agency and jurisdictional authorities. Although ICS promotes
standardization, it is not without needed flexibility. For example, the ICS
organizational structure can expand or contract to meet incident needs.
In this course, you'll learn ICS principles. And more importantly, you'll learn to
interface better with your response partners.

- correct answer-Incident Command System Origins
The Incident Command System was developed in the 1970s following a series of
catastrophic fires in California. Property damage ran into the millions, and many
people died or were injured.
The personnel assigned to determine the causes of these disasters studied the case
histories and discovered that response problems could rarely be attributed to lack of
resources or failure of tactics.
