Incident Commander

Explanation

The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized approach to the command, control, and coordination of emergency response providing a common hierarchy within which responders from multiple agencies can be effective. In ICS applications, the position that is always staffed is the Incident Commander. The Incident Commander is responsible for all aspects of the response, including the development and implementation of strategic decisions and for approving the ordering and releasing of resources.
