- Establishing Command and Control: The IMT sets up a clear organizational structure, designating roles and responsibilities to ensure efficient decision-making and coordination.
- Assessing the Situation: They gather information, analyze the incident’s scope and potential impact, and develop a common operating picture for all responders.
Developing and Implementing Action Plans: Based on their assessment, the IMT creates strategic and tactical plans to address the emergency, allocate resources, and prioritize actions. - Managing Resources: They coordinate the deployment and utilization of personnel, equipment, and supplies, ensuring they are used effectively and safely.
Facilitating Communication: The IMT acts as a central hub for information flow, ensuring timely and accurate communication among responders, stakeholders, and the public. - Ensuring Safety: They prioritize the safety of responders and the public throughout the incident, implementing safety protocols and monitoring hazards.
- Documenting the Incident: The IMT maintains detailed records of all actions taken, decisions made, and resources used, which are vital for post-incident analysis and improvement.
In essence, the IMT provides the leadership, organization, and coordination necessary to bring order to chaos during an emergency, ultimately aiming to minimize harm, protect assets, and restore normalcy as quickly and safely as possible.
