Unit 3 Instructions

Incident Action Plan: Phase 1

For this assignment, you will begin working on an Incident Action Plan (IAP), which is due in Unit VIII. There are five phases to the IAP, and you will complete Phase 1 for this assignment. Refer to the FEMA Incident Action Planning Guide, specifically Phase 1. See the Unit VIII assignment instructions for more details about the final requirements for the IAP.

The incident action planning process will be a way for you to plan and execute operations on any incident that may occur within the community provided in the scenario. This means that incident action planning will be more than producing an IAP. It will be a set of activities in each unit that provides a consistent rhythm and structure to incident management of any type.

In several units of this course, through the incident action planning process, you will begin developing a tool that will synchronize operations at the incident level to ensure that incident operations are conducted in support of incident objectives. The incident action planning process is built on the following phases:

understand the situation;
establish incident objectives;
develop the plan;
prepare and disseminate the plan; and
execute, evaluate, and revise the plan.

During each phase, you will prepare a well-organized and thoughtful summary/narrative consisting of two sections. One section will consist of a one-to-two-page narrative for each phase of the IAP. In this assignment, your narrative will consist of your evaluation of Phase 1 of the IAP. Phase 1 covers the operational period, which is the period of time scheduled for executing a given set of operational actions as specified in the IAP. Chapter 4 of the textbook National Incident Management System: Principles and Practice (pp. 45â€“46) defines the operational period and the specific incident mission requirements needed to begin Phase 1.

The second section of your summary/narrative will consist of at least three pages in which you address the following issues:

if or when the Finance/Administration section should be established during an emergency incident;
if the emergency incident requires a Finance/Administration section, determine when it should have pre-established agreements, contracts, and a procedural process with local vendors, suppliers, and contractors on equipment and/or supplies that could be required during the emergency;
if the emergency incident does not require a Finance/Administration section, determine why it does not need preestablished agreements, contracts, and a procedural process with local vendors, suppliers, and contractors on equipment and/or supplies that could be required during the emergency; and
explain the importance of a budget for fire and emergency medical services (EMS) administration in preparation for emergency incidents

For Phase 1, retrieve the ICS Form 201: Incident Briefing from the IAP Assignment Documents folder in the course menu in Blackboard, and begin entering the data from the background information documents and the scenario you choose. This information and other resources will enable you to complete Phase 1 of the IAP. Check with your instructor if you are having difficulty with any section of the form.

You will choose one event from the different incident scenarios that could occur on Little Columbia Southern Island. Please click here to view the scenarios. The background information will be the same for all five events; however, the emergency event will be different. The five incident scenarios are listed below:

fire-related emergency,
storm-related emergency,
public health-related emergency,
environmental-related emergency, and
mass shooter incident.

In addition, you are provided photos of various places on Little Columbia Southern Island to help you evaluate the conditions for the scenario you choose.

Click here for access to bay homes photos.
Click here for a map of the island.
Click here for northern side of island photos.
Click here for middle of island home photos.
Click here for south side of island photos.
Click here for unimproved roads photos.

Refer to these documents for this assignment as well as all other assignments when completing the IAP.

Use any available resource that your community has available as if it were Columbia County. For instance, if your county has 23 sets of fire apparatus equipment, then make them available if needed for Columbia County, or if your county has a mobile medical clinic and it is a part of your plan, then list it on the form. These resources will be listed on ICS Form 201. The purpose of this assignment is for you to apply the concepts and knowledge you learned in this unit to begin writing the IAP. Also, this assignment provides you with the opportunity to use your skills, expertise, and experience to enrich your response.

To supplement your discussion and support your writing, you may use information from reputable, reliable journal articles, case studies, scholarly papers, and other sources that you feel are pertinent. You should use at least three sources that can include one or both of your textbooks. All sources used, including the textbook(s), must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in proper APA style.

Both the summary/narrative and the completed ICS Form 202 should be uploaded into the assignment area in Blackboard.

NOTE: This assignment is a part of the Unit VIII Final Project. Your assignment will be graded according to the assigned rubric, and the professor will provide feedback to you. This feedback will help you to correct any discrepancies before compiling this assignment into the final IAP. This will help you to submit a quality IAP and achieve an overall better review and grade.

Unit 4

Instructions

Incident Action Plan: Phase 2

This assignment is Phase 2: Establish Incident Objectives of the IAP. As previously stated, the IAP contains five phases with the final submission due in Unit VIII. See the Unit VIII assignment instructions for more details about the final requirements for the IAP. You will complete Phase 2 in this assignment. Refer to the FEMA Incident Action Planning Guide, specifically Phase 2.

For this assignment, you will begin establishing incident objectives of the IAP. Incident objectives are the period of time that drive the incident organization as it conducts response, recovery, and mitigation accomplishments in the IAP. Chapters 5 and 6 of the textbook National Incident Management System: Principles and Practice (pp. 55â€“66) discuss planning and logistics for establishing incident objectives and the specific incident mission requirements needed to begin Phase 2.

Also in this assignment, you will prepare a well-organized and thoughtful summary/narrative consisting of two sections. The first section will consist of a one-to-two-page narrative for Phase 2 of the IAP. This narrative should expand on what you are learning during Phase 2, so you can understand the issues from the emergency services and emergency management.

Your narrative will replace the face-to-face meeting that normally occurs during an incident. Discuss immediate direction to staff, and articulate any guidance on how incident operations should proceed. The narrative should provide the following information:

objectives for the upcoming operational period;
description of the current situation;
status of concerns or issues;
any constraints, limitations, or shortfalls; and
establish incident objectives and strategies.

The second section of your summary/narrative will consist of at least two pages in which you summarize the following issues regarding human resources management within your fire service and/or emergency management organization and customer service within your community.

Describe the functions of human resources personnel within emergency management.
Describe the legal issues that may arise when hiring personnel in emergency management.
Outline motivation methods that can be used to retain personnel in emergency management.
Explain the importance of customer service to the community, especially in times of distress or grief that may occur after a fire or other emergency incident resulting in loss of life or property.

Remember that the incident objectives should be flexible enough to allow for change in any strategic or tactical situation or decision. As a part of this process, you will need to complete ICS Form 202 by establishing the objectives based on incident priorities, informed by situational awareness, leader’s intent, and delegations of authority.

Any information not provided in the background information, such as agency organization representatives, can be your organization’s personnel or another organization.

For Phase 2, download ICS Form ICS 202: Incident Objectives from the IAP Assignment Documents folder in the course menu in Blackboard, and enter the data from the background information document and the scenario you have already chosen in Unit III. This information and other resources will enable you to complete Phase 2 of the IAP for submission. You will need to go back and revisit Form ICS 202 to ensure that incident objectives are handled consistently. Refer to the FEMA Incident Action Planning Guide (pp.19â€“20) on the incident objectives.

Check with your professor if you are having difficulty with any section of the form.

To supplement your discussion and support your writing, you may use information from reputable, reliable journal articles, case studies, scholarly papers, and other sources that you feel are pertinent. You should use at least three sources which can include one or both of your textbooks. All sources used, including the textbook(s), must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in proper APA style.

Both the summary/narrative and the completed ICS Form 202 should be uploaded into the assignment area in Blackboard.

See the Unit VIII assignment instructions for more details about the final requirements for the IAP. You will complete Phase 3 in this assignment. Refer to the FEMA Incident Action Planning Guide, specifically Phase 3.

For this assignment, you will begin developing the plan, which is Phase 3. Normally, in this phase, the incident commander would delegate planning responsibilities to the primary staff based on the size, scope, complexity of the incident, and the particular FEMA programmatic expertise required. However, in this assignment, you will be responsible for the planning responsibilities. Appendix F: Planning Responsibilities Checklist, in the textbook National Incident Management System: Principles and Practice (pp. 265â€“267), provides a checklist to help in the planning of strategies to achieve incident objectives needed to begin Phase 3.

Also in this assignment, you will prepare a well-organized and thoughtful summary/narrative consisting of two sections. The first section will consist of a one-to-two-page narrative for Phase 3 of the IAP. This narrative should expand on what you are learning during this course, so you can understand the issues with life experiences from the emergency services and emergency management.

In your narrative (meeting), review the work assignments to determine whether they are complete and whether they support the incident objectives and strategies. Identify any gaps or duplication of work assignments, and resolve any conflicts or coordination issues. In the narrative, make sure resources are identified correctly (resource identifier), and when there are multiple resources of the same kind and type, make sure there is an individual identifier assigned. Address resources and logistical issues, and identify shortfalls, excesses, safety issues, and the accuracy of the incident map. In this phase, correct any issues that you may have overlooked.

Refer to the opening paragraph of the FEMA Incident Action Planning Guide (p. 22), concerning operational planning. As part of this process, you will need to complete ICS Form 215 and 215A and submit to the instructor. Any information not provided in the background information, such as agency organization representatives, can use your organization’s personnel or another organization. Also, on Form ICS 215, you insert the start date (month/day/year) and time (using the 24-hour clock [e.g., 4:00 PM is 1600 hours]) and end date and time for the operational period to which the form applies with the date that you are developing the plan. In addition, enter the time (24-hour clock) that resources are requested to arrive at the reporting location, based on how long it would take for your agency to respond. Remember to add the time mentioned in the background information to your hours.

For Phase 3, download ICS Forms ICS 215: Operational Planning Worksheet and 215A: Incident Action Plan Safety Analysis, from the IAP Assignment Documents folder in the course menu on Blackboard, and enter the data from the background information document and the scenario you have chosen. This information and other resources will enable you to complete Phase 3 of the IAP for submission. Check with your professor if you are having difficulty with any section of the forms. Your narrative will replace the face-to-face meeting that normally occurs during an incident.

The second section of your summary/narrative will consist of at least two pages in which you summarize and discuss the following issues:

reasons why it is essential to continuously reinforce skills and knowledge in the field of emergency services and emergency management,
acceptable training competencies and training practices that lead to safe and professional emergency operations, and
ways to increase professional development in emergency services and emergency management.

To supplement your discussion and support your writing, you should use information from reputable, reliable journal articles, case studies, scholarly papers, and other sources that you feel are pertinent. You should use at least three sources which can include one or both of your textbooks.
