  1. Incident management

    Incident management is a term describing the activities of an organization to identify, analyze, and correct hazards to prevent a future re-occurrence. These incidents within a structured organization are normally dealt with by a either an Incident Response Team, or an Incident Management Team. These are often designated before hand, or during the event and are placed in control of the organization whilst the incident is dealt with, to restore normal functions. Similar to an IRT or IMT is an Incident Command System. Popular with public safety agencies and jurisdictions in the United States, Canada and other countries, it is growing in practice in the private sector as organizations begin to manage without or co-manage emergencies with public safety agencies. It is a command and control mechanism that provides an expandable structure to manage emergency agencies. Although some of the details vary by jurisdiction, ICS normally consists of five primary elements: command, operations, planning, logistics and finance / administration. Several special staff positions, including public affairs, safety, and liaison, report directly to the incident commander when the emergency warrants establishment of those positions.
