Incident Command System

Follow the news for a minimum of one week and make note of all emergency incidents to get an idea of the number and diversity of incidents occurring in communities everywhere. Please follow local, national, and international emergency incidents.

Choose two of the emergency incidents and explain in detail how ICS was used. Use the terms and proper titles from our course. Describe what ICS should have been in place, and why. Did they follow the ICS system? (You may need to be creative and infer much of this information.) Where there any mistakes made? What do you think they could have done differently or better?
