Primary Core Capability: Operational Coordination

This 4-hour workshop provides a detailed introduction to emergency response supervisors and mid- to upper-level managers to the Incident Command System (ICS) forms used in the development of an Incident Action Plan (IAP) and/or Emergency Operations Center-Action Plan (EOC-AP). Participants will examine the primary forms used in an IAP and/or EOC-AP, as well as supporting and other utility forms. In addition, participants will review the planning process and where, within that process, the forms are filled out and by whom.
