16 CLICK TO OBJECTIVES EDIT MASTER TITLE STYLE EPA-SR Describe the critical tasks pertaining to initial site management and control in managing the response to a rail transportation accident involving Hazard Class 3 flammable liquids, such as crude oil and ethanol. Identify the subordinate command and general staff positions that might be utilized for a rail incident ensuring consistency with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS) as a framework to manage the event. Describe how federal response partners may provide assistance including providing Incident Management Teams for managing complex incidents.

17 NATIONAL CLICK INCIDENT TO EDIT MANAGEMENT MASTER TITLE SYSTEM STYLE EPA-SR NIMS (2004): Consistent framework for Incident Management at all jurisdictional levels Establishes a scalable and flexible set of processes and procedures that emergency responders will use to conduct response operations. Enables responders at all levels to work together more effectively and efficiently to manage events.

FOSCs provide technical and contract support to local ICs early in an incident and will be prominent in Unified Command. Can direct all Responsible Party response actions per NCP. Coordinate with affected Tribes and States. Can mobilize highly trained Type 1 and 2 Incident Management Teams. Can request and fund support from other state and federal agencies (NOAA, USFW, NWS)
