University response - incident Command

University resources will respond to an emergency with a variety of resources, both internally and externally. Therefore a coordinated effort is essential. In compliance with state mandates, university personnel will use Incident Command Structure (ICS) protocol. Basically, ICS has five major components:

1. Incident Command
2. Operations
3. Planning/Intelligence
4. Logistics
5. Finance

Briefly, Incident Command is concerned with the overall responsibility for the event; Operations coordinates the tactical response; Planning/Intelligence collects, analyzes and evaluates data; Logistics coordinates the support needs such as supplies, personnel, etc,; and Finance tracks the cost related to the Emergency Operation. University staff members are aware of the responsibilities relating to ICS. Members of the university may be asked to assist during any emergency.
