Unified command
A "Unified Command" provides the structure for effective coordination among different jurisdictions or agencies participating in an incident. The unified planning process results in a single Incident Action Plan to be implemented by a single Operations Chief.

Under the National Incident Management System, when there are several agencies involved in the response to an emergency event, Unified Command is appropriate. This allows participants with differing jurisdictional, geographic or functional responsibilities to coordinate their respective elements in a single Incident Action Plan, implemented by a properly selected Operations Chief. For instance, the fire chief, police chief and highway director may be involved in a complex incident on a major highway. Rather than having each one run their own "incident command", there could be a unified command with top-level coordination, funneled through a single plan and operations structure. This may be a description of a Unified Command (UC) or an Area Command, depending upon whether the ICs are handling DIFFERENT incidents (Area) or are participating from various jurisdictions and agencies handling the SAME incident (Unified).
