    limitations.
  • IC must be authorized to perform activities
    actions.

Unified Command Concept
  • All stakeholders (law, fire, EMS, hospitals,
    public health) or agencies (local, state,
    federal) who have a functional, jurisdictional,
    or legal responsibility at an incident contribute
    to the process by
  • Determining overall response strategy and
    objectives
  • Ensuring that joint planning for response
    activities is accomplished
  • Ensuring that integrated operations are conducted
  • Making maximum use of all assigned resources
  • Resolving conflicts between the players
  • Keeping track of financial costs

50
Unified Command Challenges
  • Individuals must understand other agencies
    concerns, responsibilities, and focus
  • One member of the unified command should be
    selected as the overall leader
  • Usually represents the primary entity responsible
    for operations at that time
  • The leadership may change as the incident evolves
