8.04 = Contingency and Incident action planning
Contingency plans
- availability of lead time to properly pre plan a critical incident management
- preincident planning should incorporate the ICS to ensure continuity of the response org in the even that the inc should expectedly expand
- intell gathering, resonnel brefngs, and selection of tactical obj can be carried out without hase to the benefit of the continency plan
8.04 = Contingency and Incident action planning
Contingency plans
Step 1- Tactical intelligence
Tactical intell gathering is the initial, critical stp in preparing a per emergency contingency pan
- all major preparations including allocation of dept resources and establishing the enfrcement posture, are predicated upon intell data such as:
- historical bckround-review of prev inc that can reveal political issues, group objectives, prior plan can be applied as a yardstick in current planning
- meetings: arranging coordination meetings with those involve will prove beneficial
- police guidelines regarding applicable laws safety procedures and compliance expctations can be presentedto those in attendance
-site examination-a supervisor should visit the scene and make determinations as to the nature, type ad scope of the incident
8.04 = Contingency and Incident action planning
Contingency plans Step 2- staffing
Staffing:
-an adequate support staff must be seleted to carry out the arious tasks associated with incident management
-the structure of the staffing will vary according to :
the severity and anticipated duration of the inc
size of the impacted area
forces needed to coer the area
support resources required
required level of control coordination and command
post incden demands (security, prisoners, property)
8.04 = Contingency and Incident action planning
Contingency plans Step 3: Incident evaluation
- the review and evalutaiton of all tactical intell , data, and general info with the objective of identifying and prioritizing anticipated problems within the critical incident
- typical potential secondary hazards as well as secondary problems which will impac planning and decision making
- the ranking officer in charge and the preselected decision making staff responsible for management of the inc should carry out the inc eval
8.04 = Contingency and Incident action planning
Contingency plans - Step 4- assessment of resources
- pre emergency contingency plan and should include
- incident command post staff
- ability to secure the scene and maintain control
- on going intelligence gathering
- traffic and crwd control
- specializd tasks SWAT ABL Canine
8.04 = Contingency and Incident action planning
Contingency plans- step 5- staff briefings
-briefings are important in terms of efficient management of resources and effective control measures
-properly conducted briefings clarify ros and respons and establish clear lines of command and control
-decision making mut be property centerd in critical inc management in accordance wih the ICS structure
-it is during the intial briefing phase that the contingency plan is modified,finalizd, and approved for implementation
-in the field, the final supervior’s beefing is benficial before personnel are deployed
-changes to the inc control measures, tactics, r assignments can be defined and explained
brieing content should include:
-brief tact intell
-objectives of contingency plan
-command and control structure
-dept philiosphy and enforcement profile
-op strateges and tactics
-specific assignments and duties
8.04 = Contingency and Incident action planning
Fomat for pre-emergency contingency plan
1st: state the problem (what why who where when, etc)
2nd state historical background and tactical intell information
(previous experience with the same event, problems , results
3rd: define the ept objectivs and philosophy overning the plan (tac objectivs, prevailing philosophy and logic, enforcement profile parameters)
4th state planned allocation of resources for the duration of the inc overall logistics, specific of personnel utilization, ime tables for scheduled controlled responses, inc command post operation, statement of costs
5th describe the escalataing phases of the contigency plan whereby additional resources will be committed for control purposes
8.04 = Contingency and Incident action planning
the 5 phases of the contingency plan
phase1: min enforcement rqd with minimal staffing requirements, no concentrated prob exist, control is being maintained, describe control measures taken at this level
phase 2: escalating events stepped up enforcement increase in numer of assigned personnel required, staging of personel occurs, spec equip (SWAT), control is not absolute, describe control measures taken at this level
phase 3: mobilization of all on duty personnel incuding MFF, shifts may be extended, may require immediate dept call back 12 hr shifts, mass staging of ersonnel and support resources, multiple ICP activated or anticipated, DOC is readied or activated
phase 4: full mobilization, the DOC is activated and staffed, Multiple IP and staging areas may be in operation, the Emerg Op Center (EOC) is readied
phase 5: appropriate notifications are made to city staff and admin executives, operational area LE coordinator is notified, mutual aid planning and interaction begins
phase 6: describe the procedures for deomibilzation, securing of personnel and supportresources must be carefully organized and not left to change, very important step in contingency planning or anymajor inc or event, prioritied schedule of withdrawal s required for the efficient return to normal operations
8.04 = Contingency and Incident action planning
Incident action planning for unplanned spontaneous critical incidents
- when an inc occurs spontaneously or does not allow for preplanning an IAP (inc action plan) is developed
- IAP establishes teh Incident Command System organization, identifies incident objectives, strategies, and resource assignments, and assesses the overall incident
8.04 = Contingency and Incident action planning
Incident action planning for unplanned spontaneous critical incidents
