Order Description
Instructions:

For this Assignment, write a 2-3 page paper in which you address the following:

Incident command is a management structure based on clear lines of authority and a distinct division of labor. Discuss the tension this system creates when disasters cross jurisdictional boundaries, involve multiple agencies and increase situational volatility. Be sure to mention steps that can be taken to increase flexibility during response and assess the advantages and disadvantages of ICS in disasters.
