Incident Command System (ICS)?
The Incident Command System (ICS) was developed through a cooperative inter-agency (local, state and federal) effort. The basic organizational structure of the ICS is patterned after the structure of a large fire organization that has been developed over time by federal fire protection agencies. ICS is designed to be used for all kinds of emergencies, and is applicable to both small day-to-day situations as well as very large and complex incidents.*
