IS 100.LEb-Intro to Incident Command System (ICS 100) (true or false) – Flashcards

Analysis of previous incident responses found that failures were most likely due to a lack of resources.

ICS could be used to manage a parade or demonstration.

ICS is a standardized, all-hazards incident management approach that is used throughout the lifecycle of an incident.

ICS best practices are more applicable to local responders than to those at the Federal level.

Statement :"This is Unit 1, we have a 10-37, Code 2." This statement complies with the ICS feature of common terminology and clear text.

Statement: "Unit 1, suspect vehicle has been identified at Satellite Park. Proceed immediately to the scene." This statement complies with the ICS feature of common terminology and clear text.

Command is assumed by the individual who is the highest ranking person on the scene regardless of experience or training level.

Unity of Command means that every individual is accountable to only one designated supervisor, to whom they report at the scene of an incident.

Chain of command restricts personnel from communicating or sharing information outside their organizational units.

Every transfer of command briefing must be completed in writing.

Under a Unified Command, the most senior Incident Commander has seniority over the other Incident Commanders.

One of the advantages of having a Unified Command is that there will be one set of incident objectives.

If three agencies are responding to an incident and operating under a Unified Command, three Operations Section Chiefs will be assigned representing each of the agencies.
