Incident Management Teams

Own the Operations

The IAP Is Your Battle Plan

Build It Faster. Execute It Better.

Incident Management Teams live at the operational edge—where plans become actions and documentation determines whether you can prove what happened. Every hour spent wrestling with paper forms is an hour not spent managing the incident.

The Reality You Face

Sound Familiar?

These challenges drain time, resources, and effectiveness from your operations every day.

Form Fatigue

ICS 215, 204, 205, 206, 208, 202... Each form requires manual entry, often duplicating information. Planning Section staff spend hours transcribing objectives and assignments between forms.

Check-In Chaos

Personnel arrive at the incident. Check-in lines form. Paper ICS 211s pile up. Data entry happens hours later—if at all. Meanwhile, you don't actually know who's on scene.

Planning Bottleneck

The planning meeting identifies 12 tactical objectives. Now someone has to translate those into ICS 204 assignment lists, coordinate with Operations on resources. Bottleneck: one person transcribing.

IAP Approval Delays

The IAP is assembled. Now begins the signature hunt. Operations Chief signed, but where's Finance? Safety hasn't seen it yet. The operational period starts in 2 hours.

Demobilization Disasters

Resources leave without clearance. Equipment goes missing. Personnel exit without proper check-out. Gaps discovered days later when reconciling.

A Day in the Life

Type 3 IMT Flood Response

See how NIMS Logic transforms a typical operational scenario.

Hour 0

Activation

Your Type 3 team receives activation for a flood event affecting three communities. Incident Commander assigned. NIMS Logic incident created.

Within 15 minutes: Incident established, key positions assigned, ICS 201 populated.
Hour 2

Initial Check-In Rush

Personnel begin arriving at the ICP. Digital check-in via tablets processes 40 people in under an hour with qualifications, equipment, and safety briefings captured.

You know exactly who's on scene and what they brought.
Hour 4

Planning Meeting

Objectives developed in ICS 202 flow directly to ICS 215 worksheet. Operations identifies available resources for assignment. Assignments build as the meeting progresses.

No transcription needed. Data flows between forms automatically.
Hour 6

IAP Assembly

ICS 204s generated from ICS 215 assignments. Communications, medical, and safety plans populated. All sections show "Ready" on the IAP dashboard.

IAP assembled in 90 minutes instead of 4+ hours.
Hour 7

Approval Workflow

Operations Chief reviews and signs. Planning, Logistics, Finance, Safety follow. IC signs off. Entire approval chain visible on dashboard.

Complete in 45 minutes. No signature hunting.
