Question

16. Who designates the Incident Commander and the process for transferring command?

Answer 1

Answer:

The jurisdiction or organization having the incident as primary responsibility.

Explanation:

When an emergency of large proportions occurs, various agencies are involved in the management and resolution of this

When so many people are in the same scenario, the order and optimization of resources become very important, so the implementation of the Incident Command System (SCI) becomes vital, since with this management system the control is achieved and coordination of the various institutions that participate during the response operations.

The SCI consists of personnel, facilities, equipment and communications control procedures and uses common terminology and standard procedures resulting in a single command and a single communication language, which will help to order the situation so that all the institutions involved proceed in their work without hindering the rest.

For this reason, FDC Bomberos has incorporated it into its practices in the Emergency Leader and Comprehensive Crisis Management course, as it allows to know the dynamics of multidisciplinary work in an emergency.

For the SCI to function efficiently, the proper functioning of 5 pillars must be coordinated: Command, Operations, Planning, Logistics and finance.
