Book Synopsis Developing an Incident Management Team in a Small Community by : David W. Litton
Download or read book Developing an Incident Management Team in a Small Community written by David W. Litton and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of one of the model incident command systems has become commonplace in the American fire service. The common thread in all of these systems is that they are modular, with the organizational command staff growing as the incident grows. In large-scale incidents an Incident Management Team (IMT) is used to staff the four major areas of concern for the incident commander: operations, logistics, planning and finance. The problem was that, although the Village of University Park has an extensive emergency operations plan, there is a lack of available trained personnel to fill all of the positions of an Incident Management Team during a large-scale incident. The purpose of this research project was to determine how to staff an Incident Management Team during a large-scale emergency incident that may affect the Village of University Park. The reason that this research was important to University Park was the fact that University Park has the potential to face a large-scale incident due to natural causes (tornadoes), hazardous materials emergencies, and potential acts of terrorism in the future. The lack of an IMT, and the potential consequences, were realized by the researcher at the conclusion of the Executive Analysis of Fire Service Operations in Emergency Management, which the researcher attended at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The research used the evaluative methodology to answer the following questions: 1. How have other fire departments staffed an incident management team during large-scale incidents? 2. Should the Village of University Park work cooperatively with surrounding fire departments, civic organizations, private industries, and volunteer organizations to staff an incident management team? 3. What should the qualifications and training be for the staff positions on the incident management team? A literature review was conducted to evaluate what had been previously published regarding incident management teams. In addition, a feedback instrument was used to gather additional information from other fire departments in the surrounding communities. This feedback instrument was instrumental in formulating several of the recommendations included in this report. The results of the research showed that other fire departments have been successful in implementing the use of IMT's on a local basis. The literature review and the feedback instrument were valuable in ascertaining the qualifications and training for team members. Five recommendations resulted from the research. In summary, they were to conduct additional research of the local fire departments with operational incident management teams, provide a copy of the research to local officials, recruit team members from within University Park and from outside sources, work cooperatively with surounding communities to develop a local area IMT, and approach the Executive Board of the Mutual Aid Box Alarm system (MABAS) about instituting a task force card in the statewide plan for the State of Illinois specifically for Incident Management Teams.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results indicated that 5 types of IM are commonly recognized throughout the United States. The levels or types of these IMTs generally coincide with the severity of the incidents for which they are trained and certified to manage. Common training methods include classroom education, training exercises and evaluations and field mentoring or shadowing. A number of recommendations were suggested to allow the Atlantic City Fire Department, the City of Atlantic City, and Atlantic County to capitalize on this concept. Recommendations included the development of a Type V IMT within the Atlantic City Fire Department. Additional recommendations included utilizing successes achieved within the fire department to encourage and strengthen IMT development throughout the city and county.
Book Synopsis Incident Management Team Activation Protocols: Developing Activation Protocols for the New York City Fire Department's Incident Management Te by : Stephen Marsar
Download or read book Incident Management Team Activation Protocols: Developing Activation Protocols for the New York City Fire Department's Incident Management Te written by Stephen Marsar and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Fire Department of New York City's Incident Management Team (FDNY IMT) is viewed nationally as a critical resource for all-risk-hazard large-scale disaster response within the United States. The FDNY IMT's reputation was built upon its successful management of such devastating events as Hurricane Katrina (2005) and Hurricane Gustav (2008) in New Orleans, Louisiana, and during a 500,000-acre East Zone Complex wildland fire near McCall, Idaho, in 2007. Despite those national achievements, the research problem exists that the FDNY has not established protocols for activating its IMT during large-scale emergencies within New York City. The omission of such protocols has resulted in poor multi-agency coordination and the delayed establishment of an effective emergency management organizational structure. The purpose of this research was to produce IMT activation protocols for the FDNY by investigating the activation methods of other all-risk-hazard IMTs. Action research was employed to answer the following questions: (a) what general mechanisms are used nationally to activate IMTs? (b) What states have IMT activation protocols within the United States? (c) What are the IMT protocols for those states that have them? And (d) what specific activation mechanisms are used by other all-risk-hazard IMTs in the urban environment? Focused problem and purpose statements, and relevant research questions were developed prior to the literature review. Extensive research gathered information from IMTs within the 50 U.S. states; Washington, D.C.; Puerto Rico; and Guam. Topic experts were also identified and interviewed. The results found that few U.S. IMTs have local activation protocols. The recommendations--based on the research--resulted in specific protocols for the FDNY IMT response to building collapses, explosions, hazardous materials, and airplane and railroad crashes; as well as the education of chief officers on the management benefits of the team.".
Book Synopsis Developing and Implementing a Local Incident Management Team for the Poudre Fire Authority by :
Download or read book Developing and Implementing a Local Incident Management Team for the Poudre Fire Authority written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem was that the Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) does not have a plan for a designated local all hazards incident management team. The purpose of this research was to determine methods and strategies to plan and implement a designated all-hazards incident management team. This Applied Research Project used descriptive research. The research questions were; a) What level of incident management team is appropriate for the Poudre Fire Authority? b) What incident management positions are necessary for a local incident management team? c) What are the trigger points for activation a local incident management team? d) What is an implementation strategy for deploying a new Poudre Fire Authority Incident Management Team? e) What are the cost factors, training factors, and other logistical factors needed to implement and maintain a designated local incident management team? An extensive literature review was conducted. The procedures of this project involved a survey of emergency response organizations throughout North America and personal communications with local subject matter experts. Although the majority of organizations surveyed reported that they did not have their own dedicated local all℗Ư-hazards incident management team (AHIMT) they did have some form of local AHIMT available for the jurisdiction. The majority of all local AHIMTS are Type 3 organizations. PFA has a Type 3 AHIMT available through the State of Colorado. The author recommended that the PFA develop a local Type 4 AHIMT staffed with members of the PFA as well as cooperating organizations. A team administrator was also recommended to ensure that recommended training and qualifications are maintained and to develop protocols and operational directives for deployment. The author also recommended that partnering organizations pay for their members' participation while the PFA would handle the administrative expenses of the team.
Book Synopsis Critical Decision Making by : Michael Barakey
Download or read book Critical Decision Making written by Michael Barakey and published by Fire Engineering Books. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By nature, competent decisions by emergency responders are challenging because incidents are fluid and dynamic. In Critical Decision Making, Chief Michael Barakey gives emergency first responders the tools to succeed on every incident where they make critical decisions and mitigate incidents daily under stress. This book reviews cases to identify common incident elements that hinder quality decision making, and it introduces point-to-point leadership, a systematic approach to making critical decisions from the time responders are alerted to an incident to its resolution. Understanding how to make critical decisions in this dynamic process is what makes great leaders. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING: “For years, fire rescue training programs have only addressed the concept of critical decision making in a limited way. Chief Barakey tackles this mission critical process in a straight forward, direct, comprehensive and understandable way...A tip of the helmet to Chief Barakey and Fire Engineering Books for delivering such a practical and impactful book.” —Dennis L. Rubin, Fire Rescue author “I have had the pleasure of working both professionally and personally with Chief Barakey for more than 25 years. Mike helped me better understand the daily operations of managing a hazardous materials response team. He has crafted a great resource for first responders interested in developing or improving their ability to make critical decisions during the most stressful situations. This step by step process is required reading for anyone that has the task of making critical decisions either on the strategic, tactical, or task level.” —Murrey Loflin, Battalion Chief (Retired), Virginia Beach Fire Department and federal fatality investigator “Chief Barakey shares how to blend education, experience and opportunity and develop skills on the smaller incidents where most of us get a second chance to command and learn. He has always been a proponent of sending the elevator back down to show others the best way to move up … Now is the time for your second chance at incident command and emergency service leadership. Read this book and use your second chance while you have it.” —Stephen Miles, retired Battalion Chief of Safety from the Virginia Beach Fire Department and federal fatality investigator
