liaison officer
A "liaison officer" of a unified or single incident command provides a point of contact for representatives of other agencies, monitors inter-agency issues for the incident commander, and establishes communications with cooperating agency managers.
The Liaison Officer in FEMA's Incident Command System (ICS) is responsible for coordinating with external agencies and stakeholders during emergency response operations. This role involves facilitating communication between the incident command and various organizations, including local, state, and federal agencies, as well as non-governmental organizations. The Liaison Officer ensures that all parties are informed, resources are shared, and collaboration is effective to enhance the overall response effort. Effective liaison work is crucial for a unified response to disasters and emergencies.
In the Incident Command System (ICS), the command staff comprises key positions that support the Incident Commander in managing an incident. These positions typically include the Public Information Officer (PIO), who communicates with the media and the public; the Safety Officer, who monitors safety conditions and develops safety protocols; and the Liaison Officer, who acts as a point of contact for external agencies and stakeholders. Together, they ensure effective communication, safety, and coordination during incident management.
