The Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) is activated through predefined protocols when an emergency or disaster situation arises. The process typically begins with the identification of an incident that exceeds normal operational capabilities, prompting the designated Incident Commander to convene the command team. Key personnel are notified, and the incident command structure is established to coordinate response efforts, ensuring effective communication and resource allocation. Regular training and drills help ensure that all staff are familiar with activation procedures and their specific roles within the HICS framework.
