The Unified Command (UC) is a framework within the Incident Command System (ICS) that allows multiple agencies to work collaboratively during an incident. By establishing a shared set of objectives and strategies, UC ensures that all stakeholders, including local, state, and federal agencies, coordinate their efforts effectively. This approach enhances communication, resource allocation, and decision-making, ultimately leading to a more efficient response to emergencies.
An Incident Action Plan (IAP) in the National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a strategic document that outlines the objectives, strategies, and tactics for managing a specific incident. It provides a clear framework for coordinating resources, personnel, and communication among various agencies and organizations involved in the response. The IAP typically includes details on the incident's objectives, assigned responsibilities, operational resources, and safety considerations, ensuring a unified and effective approach to incident management.
