| Using Incident Command System in your Plan |
|
Using Incident Command System, or in the healthcare world HICS (Hospital Incident Command System), helps you organize your disaster response both internally and externally. Please review our section on How California Responds to Disasters with ICS before proceeding. HICS can be used at organizations both large and small–it can even be used by just one person! If you have a small organization, the same person may fill multiple spots on the HICS organizational chart, and that's ok. Just be sure to practice and exercise to make sure that one person is not overburdened with their role(s) in an emergency. Basic HICS Job Functions Overview
