It is 1200 hours, and the NWS has just informed the County Emergency Management office that the flooding is expected to crest at 1800 today. It is expected that this flood crest will cause flooding as indicated on the

the city. Traffic is gridlocked. The storm has passed as quickly as it began. What are the incident objectives?: Identify life-safety priorities and initial resource needs. Begin rescue operations. Clear traffic jams and reroute traffic flow. Restore power within 2 hours.

  1. The Beltway sniper case was an infamous crime, instilling fear in thou- sands of people. According to the after-action report, communication was clearly the most compelling concern in the sniper case. Investigations of this kind succeed or fail based on executives' ability to effectively manage and communicate information in a timely manner. Incident Commanders must balance the incident needs with the obligations of local executives to be responsive to their citizens. In the words of one police chief, "You cannot expect leaders to stop leading." In the box below, type a list of the steps you would take to keep the agency executives involved.: Get approval of strategic goals for the incident. Conduct periodic briefings to keep executives informed. Inform executives of critical issues and unanticipated changes. Work with the executives to manage external relations.
  1. Think about typical incidents that you may need to manage. What factors are likely to influence span of control?: Type of incident Nature of the task Hazards and safety factors Experience of the supervisor and subordinates Communication access between the subordinates and the supervisor
  2. As a leader during an incident, you must provide purpose, direction, and motivation for responders who are working to accomplish difficult tasks under dangerous, stressful circumstances. Instructions: Think about a highly effective incident leader. In the box below, type a list of the leadership qualities that such an individual must possess.: - Take command. Balance response initiatives with safety concerns. Motivate responders. Communicate clear directions. Size up the situation and make rapid decisions. Assess the effectiveness of tactics/strategies. Be flexible and modify plans as necessary.
  3. Emergency communications at the Pentagon site proved challenging on September 11, 2001. Radio communications among emergency respon- ders quickly became overloaded. These communication problems persisted

As response operations progressed and a mobile command vehicle became available, the Incident Command Post (ICP) was established in that vehicle just north of the hospital. Other agencies involved, such as the fire department and emergency medical services, began operating near the new ICP location and Incident Commander. The police department continued to operate from the school. Type a list of po: The failure to establish a Unified Command structure resulted in miscommunication and confusion. For example, a helicopter requested by the police department arrived at the scene without the Incident Commander's direction or knowledge. Poor communication also made it especially difficult to establish initial security perimeters. Eventually, the police and fire departments swapped radios so they could monitor each other's radio traffic. They also established hourly face-to-face meetings for collaboration and updates. These ad hoc remedies allevi- ated some of the initial problems. However, miscommunication continued to plague response operations. The after-action report for this incident stated that Incident Commanders need to create Unified Command structures promptly in a multiagency response to an emergency. Establishing Unified Command will help to reduce problems of miscom- munication and confusion between response agencies.
