The Incident Command System (ICS) is an organizational management framework that is used by disaster response agencies nationwide. It allows for a cooperative response by multiple agencies, including nonprofits, to organize and coordinate disaster response activities. ICS ensures that the most pressing community needs are met, and that precious resources are used without duplication or waste.
Nonprofits that use ICS when disaster strikes will be able to share resources more easily, integrate strategies, and act collaboratively. Whether these organizations are leading or supporting a disaster response effort, their efforts are magnified by the unity of effort enabled by ICS’ shared vocabulary, systems, and processes. Effective incident management can make the difference between an effective and ineffective response effort, as well as the difference between advancing or damaging an organization’s reputation in the community.
