ICS Forms related to Emergency Communications

---

ICS forms are standardized documents used within the Incident Command System (ICS). The ICS is a management system designed to enable effective, efficient, and coordinated response to incidents of all types and complexities, from small-scale emergencies to large-scale disasters.

Here’s a breakdown of what ICS forms are and why they’re important:

Purpose: ICS forms provide a structured way to document, track, and communicate essential information during an incident. They ensure consistency, clarity, and accountability among all responders and agencies involved.

Standardization: The forms use common terminology and a consistent format, allowing diverse organizations (fire, law enforcement, EMS, public health, government, private sector, etc.) to seamlessly integrate their efforts and “speak the same language.”
