<br />Ramsey County-Wide Emergency Operations Plan <br /> <br />Revision 5.1, June, 2005 <br /> <br />GENERAL DUTIES OF INCIDENT COMMAND STAFF FUNCTIONS <br /> <br />Source: United States Department of Home/and Security - Federa/ Emergency <br />Management Agency <br /> <br />Comments: <br /> <br />For all incidents, a command team comprised of the incident commander, appropriate command <br />and general staff personnel is assigned. (Sources: FIRESCOPE and NIMS) <br /> <br />Incident Commander (IC)/Unified Command (UC): <br /> <br />The Incident Commander's responsibility is the overall management of the incident (to which it is <br />assigned). On most incidents, the command activity is carried out by a single Incident <br />Commander. Complex or multi-jurisdictional/multi-agency incidents may require several leaders <br />and subject matter experts to work together on the command functions. This is the Unified <br />Command (UC). The Incident Commander is selected by qualifications and experience. The <br />Incident Commander may have a deputy, who may be from the same agency, or from an <br />assisting agency. Deputies may also be used at section and branch levels of the ICS <br />organization. Deputies must have the same qualifications as the person for whom they work, as <br />they must be ready to take over that position at any time. Depending on the extent of the Incident <br />Management team needed, this area of management may also have under its purview an <br />Information Officer, Liaison Officer, Agency Representative(s), and Safety Officer. <br /> <br />Public Information Officer (PIO) <br /> <br />Each agency and jurisdiction will designate a Public Information Officer (PIO). The PIO is <br />responsible for interfacing with the public and media and/or with other agencies with incident- <br />related information requirements. The PIO develops accurate and complete information on the <br />incident's cause, size, and current situation; resources committed; and other matters of general <br />interest for both internal and external consumption. The PIO may also perform a key public <br />information-monitoring role. Whether the command structure is single or unified, only one incident <br />PIO should be designated. Assistants may be assigned from other agencies or departments <br />involved. The IC must approve the release of all incident-related information. <br /> <br />Liaison Officer (LNO) <br /> <br />The LNO is the point of contact for representatives of other governmental agencies, <br />nongovernmental organizations, and/or private entities. In either a single or UC structure, <br />representatives from assisting or cooperating agencies and organizations coordinate through the <br />LNO. Agency and/or organizational representatives assigned to an incident must have the <br />authority to speak for their parent agencies and/or organizations on all matters, following <br />appropriate consultations with their agency leadership. Assistants and personnel from other <br />agencies or organizations (public or private) involved in incident management activities may be <br />assigned to the LNO to facilitate coordination. <br /> <br />Safety Officer (SO) <br /> <br />The SO monitors incident operations and advises the IC on all matters relating to operational <br />safetv. includina the health and safetv of emeroencv resoonder oersonneL The ultimate <br /> <br />31 <br />
