<td colspan="9"><p>Individual at the EOC responsible for tracking
incident costs and reimbursement accounting, and
coordinating/administering support for EOC personnel during disaster
operations. This function is part of the standardized ICS structure per
the National Incident Management System. If situation warrants,
chief/coordinator oversees subunits of this function to include
Compensation/Claims, Procurement, Cost, and Time. (See <strong>Figure
1.</strong>) When there is a specific need for financial reimbursement
(individual and agency or department), and/or administrative services to
support incident management activities, a Finance/Administration Section
is established. Under the ICS, not all agencies will require such
assistance. In large, complex scenarios involving significant funding
originating from multiple sources, the Finance/Administrative Section is
an essential part of the ICS. In addition to monitoring multiple sources
of funds, the Section Chief must track and report to the IC the
financial “burn rate” as the incident progresses. This allows the IC to
forecast the need for additional funds before operations are affected
negatively. This is particularly important if significant operational
assets are under contract from the private sector. The Section Chief may
also need to monitor cost expenditures to ensure statutory rules that
apply are met. Close coordination with the Planning Section and
Logistics Section is also essential so that operational records can be
reconciled with financial documents. Note that, in some cases, only one
specific function may be required (e.g., cost analysis), which a
technical specialist in the Planning Section could provide. The
Finance/Administration Section Chief will determine, given current and
anticipated future requirements, the need for establishing specific
subordinate units. In some of the functional areas (e.g., procurement),
an actual unit need not be established if it would consist of only one
person. In such a case, a procurement technical specialist would be
assigned in the Planning Section instead. Because of the specialized
nature of finance functions, the Section Chief should come from the
agency that has the greatest requirement for this support. The Section
Chief may have a deputy.</p>

appropriate command and general staff personnel assigned to an incident.
(Source: FIRESCOPE)</p>
<p><strong><u>Incident Commander</u>:</strong> The Incident Commander’s
responsibility is the overall management of the incident (to which they
are assigned). On most incidents, the command activity is carried out by
a single Incident Commander. The Incident Commander is selected by
qualifications and experience. The Incident Commander may have a deputy,
who may be from the same agency, or from an assisting agency. Deputies
may also be used at section and branch levels of the ICS organization.
Deputies must have the same qualifications as the person for whom they
work, as they must be ready to take over that position at any time.
Depending on the extent of the Incident Management team needed, this
area of management may also have under its purview an Information
Officer, Liaison Officer, Agency Representative(s), and Safety
Officer.</p>
<p><strong><u>Operations Section Chief</u>:</strong> The Operations
Section Chief, a member of the General Staff, is responsible for the
management of all operations directly applicable to the primary mission.
The Operations Chief activates and supervises organization elements in
accordance with the Incident Action Plan and directs its execution. The
Operations Chief also directs the preparation of unit operational plans;
requests or releases resources; makes expedient changes to the Incident
Action Plan as necessary; and reports such to the Incident Commander.
Depending on the extent of the Incident Management team needed, this
area of management may also have under its purview a Branch Director,
Division/Group Supervisor, Strike Team/Task Force Leader, Single
Resource Coordinator, and Staging Area Manager.</p>
<p><strong><u>Planning Section Chief</u>:</strong> The Planning Section
Chief is responsible for the collection, evaluation, dissemination, and
use of information about the development of the incident and status of
resources. Information is needed to: (1) understand the current
situation, (2) predict probable course of incident events, and (3)
prepare alternative strategies and control operations for the incident.
This section serves as the Incident Commander’s “clearing house” for
information. The Section Chief’s goal is to plan ahead of current events
and to identify the need for resources before they are needed. Depending
on the extent of the Incident Management team needed, this area of
management may also have under its purview a Resources Unit Leader,
Situation Unit Leader, Documentation Unit Leader, Demobilization Unit
Leader, and Technical Specialists.</p>
<p><strong><u>Logistics Section Chief</u>:</strong> The Logistics
Section Chief is responsible for providing facilities, services, and
material in support of the incident, and is accountable for all
personnel working in the hazard zone of the incident. The Section Chief
participates in development and implementation of the Incident Action
Plan and activates and supervises the Branches and Units within the
Logistics Section. Depending on the extent of the Incident Management
team needed, this area of management may also have under its purview a
Service Branch Director, Support Branch Director, Facilities Unit
Leader, and Ground Support Unit Leader.</p>
<p><strong><u>Finance/Administration Section Chief</u>:</strong> The
Finance/Administration Section Chief is responsible for all financial,
administrative, and cost analysis aspects of the incident and for
supervising members of the Finance/Administration section. Depending on
the extent of the Incident Management team needed, this area of
management may also have under its purview a Time Unit Leader,
Procurement Unit Leader, Compensation/Claims Unit Leader, and Cost Unit
Leader.</p>

<td colspan="9"><p><u><strong>Radio</strong> <strong>Frequency</strong>
<strong>Transceivers</strong></u>—Every agency has their assigned RF
equipment in use. These frequencies should be distributed throughout the
unit along with the most used adjoining agency transceivers. A central
Communications rack should be built near the Communications Officer
position. This rack should contain less used adjoining agency radios and
programmable radios, giving the unit the ability to communicate with as
many agencies as possible. Type I &amp; II units should have an
Interoperability Module installed in addition to the central rack. This
module will allow for different frequency transceivers to communicate
commonly.</p>
<p><u><strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Systems</strong></u>—NMARSAT
system can be utilized for telecommunications and DOD secure data
transfer. For a MCC the unit should be roof mounted and auto-tracking.
Useful for video-teleconferencing, high quality voice transmission,
faxing, and dial-up Internet access. V-Sat systems use roof-mounted
auto-deploy, auto-tracking dishes, and allow large downloads of
bandwidth. This bandwidth can be managed to provide Internet access,
voice communications, and video transfer for sending live on-scene video
back to an EOC or other location. The FCC continues to approve new
technology for this system. Iridium, Global Star, or other Sat-phones
are ideal for in-the-field communications.</p>
<p><u><strong>Microwave</strong> <strong>Units</strong></u>—Some States
and jurisdictions have microwave-capable facilities and equipment
installed for quality video transfer.</p>
<p><u><strong>Server</strong> <strong>Computers</strong></u>—A
rack-mounted Server should be installed in Type I, II, and III units.
This Server can be designed to mimic many of the operations and software
in use at the EOC. A hard-wired LAN and a wireless LAN should also be
installed to enable all workstations access to the Server.</p>
<p><u><strong>Telephone</strong> <strong>System</strong></u>—An
office-style PBX system should be installed in Type I, II, and III
units. This system can be integrated with landlines, cell lines, and
satellite telephones. Each workstation should have a telephone unit as
well as units on-hand for exterior operations.</p>
<p><u><strong>Cellular</strong> <strong>PBX</strong>
<strong>System</strong> <strong>(ML500</strong> <strong>or</strong>
<strong>similar)</strong></u>—This unit is used for multiple cell lines
(suggest 5). It is tied into the main PBX for distribution throughout
unit. The unit has auto-detect sensors that check for landline first and
then switch to cell if landline is not available.</p>
<p><u><strong>Camera</strong> <strong>and</strong>
<strong>Video</strong> <strong>Systems</strong></u>—The unit should have
an installed mast (no taller than 30’ without exterior supports) and
camera system with monitors in both the conference and communications
area. The video system controls the multiple inputs and distributes them
to the monitors. The system should support the mast and camera, display
Server Computer programs, helicopter downlink, DSS, and have the
capability to receive signals from additional units by plugging into
exterior console.</p>
