3.500 Major Incident and All Hazard Plan Flashcards
It is the policy of this department to provide for the deployment of personnel and equipment when it is determined that a life safety threat exists (e.g., natural or man-made disasters, civil disturbances, or any other complex incident or emergency) that will require a major commitment of department, city, county, state, and/or federal resources for an extended time. Such incidents may require additional response by units from neighboring area commands and other jurisdictions. A structured protocol is required to manage the ________________________.
Number of responding units, control safe ingress and egress routes, and ensure supervisory command and control of resources.
In the aftermath of a large-scale event where a joint investigation is conducted with federal partners, LVMPD personnel, as designated by the Undersheriff, will integrate with the appropriate federal agencies, allowing for _____________________.
Shared information and resources
__________ was developed so responders from different jurisdictions and disciplines can work together to react better to natural disasters and emergencies, including acts of terrorism. Benefits include a unified approach to incident management; standard command and management structures; and emphasis on preparedness, mutual aid, and resource management.
National Incident Management System (NIMS)
The standard tool used for command, control, response coordination, and overall management of complex incidents, planned events, or emergencies. This system permits a clear point of command and can be expanded or contracted with ease.
Incident Command System (ICS)
A team effort that allows agencies with jurisdictional responsibility, either geographical or functional, to participate in the management of an incident.
Unified Command
The purpose of this procedure is to establish the ICS requirements relative to a___________, _____________, ___________, and/or _____________. Specific tactical procedures are detailed throughout the department manual for designated incidents (e.g., bomb threats, hostage situations, and aircraft accidents) and must be utilized in conjunction with this procedure when dealing with those specific tactical situations.
All hazards, complex incidents, events, and/or emergencies
The _________________ is the principal advisor to the department on unusual occurrences, planning for response to “all hazard” situations, and coordinating emergency plans internally and externally. The Emergency Management Section, in conjunction with the Advanced Training Program, is responsible for annual training, including exercise components (e.g., tabletop, drill, or full scale).
Emergency Management Section
The Emergency Management Section, in conjunction with who, is responsible for annual training, including exercise components (e.g., tabletop, drill, or full scale).
The advanced training program
All commissioned and civilian employees must complete what ICS during probation?
ICS 100, 200, and 700
Sergeants must complete what ICS during probation?
IS 800c and ICS 300
Lieutenants must complete what ICS during probation?
ICS 400
Command and control within the ICS starts from the ___________ and is based on the needs of the incident.
Top down
The ICS structure is ___________ or ___________ as needed.
Expanded or reduced
During ICS, command is established by _________________, who is physicaly on scene.
The most qualified officer, regardless of rank

Shift watch commanders.
During an ICS incident, whenever command is transferred, it must be communicated _________________________.
To dispatch, over the radio
_____________ is a primary primary concept of ICS.
Delegation
The IC should delegate tasks to personnel qualified to perform them to avoid being overwhelmed during the incident.
Not all guidelines are applicable in every situation. Identify the objectives and outline the major steps to be taken in managing all-hazard incidents, to include:
- Ensure officer and public safety.
- Conduct a situation assessment and update Dispatch.
- Assume on-scene command by implementing ICS, designating a command post, and naming it.
- Determine communication channels (see LVMPD 7.220, Joint Use of Interoperable Radio
Frequencies). - Designate staging area(s) (police, fire, medical, and media).
- Establish a perimeter control plan (inner/outer).
- Consider the need for additional resources (and notification of public safety departments).
- Determine and maintain ingress/egress routes for first responders.
- Assist in an evacuation/shelter in place and determine evacuation transportation and destination.
- Request a Public Information Officer (PIO).
- Preserve the scene for evidentiary purposes.
- Maintain an operations log.
- Develop an incident action plan (formal or informal).

The shift and sector
e.g. 2P13 would be 2PIC

A unique name.
Regardless of size or type of incident, the top three priorities for establishing incident objectives are:
- Life safety
- Incident stabilazation
- Property preservation
A structured response allows responding officers, supervisors, or watch commanders to efficiently allocate resources. Area command personnel can then be assigned as ___________ or __________ to fulfill a specific need.
Groups or strike teams
