Answer 1

1. False.

2. True.

3. False.

1. False: Because incident details are often unknown at the start, command should not be established until after the Incident Action Plan has been developed.

• As a general rule, it is very important that a command function is clearly established at the start (beginning) of an incident rather than wait until the Incident Action Plan has been developed.

2. True: Unity of command means that every individual is accountable to and reports to only one designated supervisor.

• Under a unity of command, every individual (personnel) receives work assignments and instructions only from a designated Incident Command System (ICS) supervisor and are mandated to report to this supervisor only.

3. False: Chain of command restricts personnel from communicating or sharing information outside their organizational units.

• A chain of command is an organized line of authority within the hierarchy of an incident management organization. Thus, it doesn't prevent or restrict personnel from communicating or sharing information with their colleagues.
