Who would deactivate an ICS?

Answer 1

An Incident Command System (ICS) would typically be deactivated by the Incident Commander or a designated authority once the incident has been resolved or the situation is under control. This decision is based on an assessment of whether the objectives of the incident response have been met and if further coordination is no longer necessary. Additionally, any relevant stakeholders, such as agency representatives or emergency management officials, may be involved in the deactivation process to ensure proper closure and documentation.
