TC ARES Voice Training 7-MAR-21

This evening’s training comes page 139 of the ICS 100 Instructor’s Guide under the heading of Planning Section.

The Planning Section Chief is designated only after the Incident Commander determines whether there is a need for a Planning Section. It is up to the Planning Section Chief to activate any additional staffing that is needed. The Incident Commander will perform all planning functions if no Planning Section is established. The major activities of the Planning Section may include:

• Preparing and documenting Incident Action Plans

• Managing information and maintaining situational awareness for the incident

• Tracking resources assigned to the incident

• Maintaining incident documentation

• Developing plans for demobilization

This concludes tonight’s training and with that I turn it back to net control.
