Incident command organization

Decision-making, planning and tasking activities at the various coordination and command levels that are involved in managing a certain crisis event. 

The organization of the control system in an accident aims to satisfy the most urgent needs and to use precious resources without duplication or waste. The main role of the Command system is to establish planning and management functions for the partners who respond to work in a coordinated and systematic approach.

The aim of the incident command organization should focus, depending on the type of situation, on organizing to sustain safe operations, anticipating avoiding the collapse of the resources, on the coordination for a decision-making process distributed between different actors and on the creation of certainty using strategies of resilience.
