EOC and Incident Command

Emergency Operations Center vs. Incident Command• Statewide/Jurisdiction Wide Focus i.e. an Area• Situational Awareness for the elected

leadership• Deals with the politics so the first responder

does not have to• Resource Provider – the Incident Management

Assistance Team (IMAST), IDL Type III Incident Command Team is a provided resource

• Plans, Logistics and Finance

EOC and Incident Command

Incident Command• FOCUS is the Incident • TACTICAL-Plans, Operations, Logistics,

Finance• Authority/Limits based on Delegation of

Authority from the Jurisdiction Leadership

• Handles the incident not the politics• Identifies the resources required and

orders them from the EOC

Cost Reimbursement State Declaration triggers availability of the

State Disaster Emergency Account – ID Code, 46-1005.

The account shall only be used to pay obligations and expenses incurred by the state of ID during a declared state of emergency

State Administrative Plan to mirror that found with the Federal Government and in ID Code. 46-1008.

Information Processing ID State EOC uses WebEOC to process

information• Automated/Real Time• NIMS/ICS forms are the basis(Situation Report,

Action Request Form, Mission Assignment)• Broadband is the carrier• Phone/Fax work as well • EOC SOP documents the process• Transparent process

Jurisdiction EOCs connected and utilizing WebEOC is the goal.

Information Processing We only know what we know Talk to your counterpart: Jurisdiction

EOC to State EOC Generally, in a State Declared Incident,

the Incident Command Team works for a jurisdiction, not the State EOC.

The AFO is a great tool to ensure information is flowing and if not why not and can make it work! – use them.

Logistics

Mutual Aid is very good, most responsive at least cost

Request for Assistance/Action Request Form/Mission Assignment/Project Agreement = “STUFF” and services

Don’t wait until you are out to order/request Mission Request = State Agency resource Project Agreement = Jurisdiction contract Status is on WebEOC or a phone call to

Logistics Section, Mission Assignment Unit

Training It is not a good time to find out you need training

when you are in the middle of a crises• What have you been told to do? Expectations,

Regulations, the LAW.• Training – Ensures that the skill set is present• Exercise – Practices how to use the skill setGOTTA HAVE BOTH / Hand in Glove

Needs Assessment is key – don’t fool yourself• Enough Personnel• Adequate Processes. if it is not a process then

someone will make it up• Does everyone understand…elected officials-don’t

forget them

You will do what you have practiced……or not
