Management

THE INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM FOR PUBLIC HEALTH DISASTER

---

Incident command systems and incident management systems are the general standard used by fire and rescue services for the management of major events. The original version, the National Interagency Incident Management System (NIIMS) is the federal government standard for federal participation in field events. And the National Wildfire Coordinating Group adaptation of NIIMS is the standard for any large wildland fire response. Incident command system use is mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for any event involving hazardous materials. In Virginia, incident command system use is mandated by the legislature for any highway incident, and we have a history of major natural disaster response being managed using the wildland fire model.
