Objectives Review key concepts of the National Incident
Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command System (ICS)
Illustrate how ICS can be used to coordinate a foodborne outbreak response of any size
Discuss challenges related to using ICS in public health

Assumptions Some level of NIMS training Has participated in or may participate in
infectious disease emergency response Come from agencies have varying degrees of
capacity, authority, resources, operation and structure
![Page 4: Using Incident Command System in Foodborne …...Problem in foodborne outbreak coordination Response requires staff from 3 offices, 2 divisions who are managed by: 2 directors, 3 managers,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011916/5fe289ea7d91995d5b51f914/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What FEMA says about NIMS NIMS is a comprehensive,
national approach to incident management
NIMS provides the template for incident management, regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity
NIMS is applicable at all jurisdictional levels and across functional disciplines

What does public health say?
![Page 6: Using Incident Command System in Foodborne …...Problem in foodborne outbreak coordination Response requires staff from 3 offices, 2 divisions who are managed by: 2 directors, 3 managers,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011916/5fe289ea7d91995d5b51f914/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
So Why Do It?
![Page 7: Using Incident Command System in Foodborne …...Problem in foodborne outbreak coordination Response requires staff from 3 offices, 2 divisions who are managed by: 2 directors, 3 managers,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011916/5fe289ea7d91995d5b51f914/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SNHD Experience Problem in foodborne outbreak coordination Response requires staff from 3 offices, 2 divisions who are
managed by: 2 directors, 3 managers, 2 supervisors Nobody knew each other Solution - FIT = Foodborne Illness Team Planning and response functions Integrates NIMS/ICS Example: Incident types
![Page 8: Using Incident Command System in Foodborne …...Problem in foodborne outbreak coordination Response requires staff from 3 offices, 2 divisions who are managed by: 2 directors, 3 managers,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011916/5fe289ea7d91995d5b51f914/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ICS and Public Health: A Good Match
ICS Public Health Incidents A wide range of tasks is
necessary in any incident response
Allows for coordination of multiple agencies and types of response personnel
Scalable - may be used to manage routine events or to manage disasters, and for any type of event in between
Vary in size, scope and complexity
Require diverse skill sets to accomplish wide range of tasks
Incidents may be routine or emergent

ICS and Public Health: A Good Match Provides a set of critical processes that help maximize
response capacity Management by objectives and task based Uses common terminology Establishes functional roles with clear responsibilities Easily adapted to rapidly changing situation
Ultimate Goal – move from reacting to, to managing an
incident

Scale to fit – type, number, time, place.
![Page 38: Using Incident Command System in Foodborne …...Problem in foodborne outbreak coordination Response requires staff from 3 offices, 2 divisions who are managed by: 2 directors, 3 managers,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011916/5fe289ea7d91995d5b51f914/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Why Use Incident Command System Decreased confusion among responders due to coordination
of response actions. It’s the difference between reacting and managing. It is not a guide to how to investigate – rather a framework
on how to coordinate a response and manage resources.
![Page 39: Using Incident Command System in Foodborne …...Problem in foodborne outbreak coordination Response requires staff from 3 offices, 2 divisions who are managed by: 2 directors, 3 managers,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011916/5fe289ea7d91995d5b51f914/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Challenges Working outside normal duties Reporting to different “supervisors” Maintaining regular job function/duties Planning ahead while doing Not enough personnel resources
![Page 40: Using Incident Command System in Foodborne …...Problem in foodborne outbreak coordination Response requires staff from 3 offices, 2 divisions who are managed by: 2 directors, 3 managers,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011916/5fe289ea7d91995d5b51f914/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Recommendations Identify key personnel in each area – include OPHP Regular planning meetings Ensure buy-in from all to use ICS for incident response Train staff at all levels on regular basis Use support staff Consider deputy positions Written plans and procedures – include COOP Evaluate and draft improvement plans
