5 Introduction The initiation of the Indiana Incident Management Program is designed to augment and enhance the State s ability to conduct on-scene incident management operations at complex, large scale, and multi-operational period incidents. This initiative is the result of numerous trends and occurrences which have exposed the significant need for responders with advanced training in incident command and incident management. Of particular note are the lessons learned from the 2007 Ardent Sentry exercise, which made evident that large-scale incidents require personnel with advanced ICS training and can implement that training as a team. Additionally, Indiana has had three Federal Disaster Declarations in 2008 during which incident management teams would have helped in the response and recovery phases. The continuing pursuit of Homeland Security Presidential Directive - 5 (HSPD) and HSPD-8 compliance, as well as intense ICS 300 and ICS 400 training in Indiana over the last two years have encouraged the formation of incident management teams. The incident management program will serve as a foundation for the development of the Indiana Department of Homeland Security s forward disaster response element. This unit will be capable of functioning in one of four capacities, which include: An Incident Management Assistance Team, an Incident Management Team, a State Emergency Coordination Response Team, or a State Unified Command Team. This team will constitute the tip of the spear for State response. Through this program, the Department will seek to encourage and support the development of All Hazard Incident Management Teams within each Homeland Security District. These teams will augment the capabilities of localities throughout the State, and ensure that they are capable of enhanced on-scene incident management for large-scale incidents and events. The completion of this program will move the State of Indiana s response capabilities forward from having no certified Incident Management Teams to having nine. Additionally, this program will produce 92 Local Incident Management Teams and three Multi-Agency Coordination Teams. This is a sizeable challenge and by undertaking and achieving this enterprise, the State will set the standard by having arguably the largest incident management capability in the Country. The view that Indiana is made up of small county jurisdictions, as well as it s small town feel, has at times been considered a weakness within government. This program will allow the State of Indiana to take advantage of these characteristics and use them to its benefit. Through this undertaking, the Department intends to capitalize on Indiana s small county government structure, the established 10 Homeland Security Districts and the unique character of the State as a whole. Incident Management Program Purpose The purpose of the Indiana Incident Management Program is to raise on-site incident management capabilities within the State of Indiana through the development and use of Incident Management Teams at the State and District levels. Through this program, the Department will elevate Indiana responders knowledge and use of the advanced levels of the Incident Command System and the National Incident Management System. Page 4 of 45

6 Incident Management Program Vision Over the next five years, the development of a State Incident Management Team capable of staffing three operational periods, or deploying to three incident sites simultaneously, will be realized through the State Incident Management Program. The establishment of a Type 1 Incident Management Team consisting of State and local response personnel, will be a priority. In addition, the Department will encourage the creation of 10 District All Hazard Incident Management Teams. Ultimately, the program will facilitate the development of highly skilled State and local emergency responders who have the capability to effectively direct and control incident activities by using the Incident Command System consistent with the guidelines set forth by the National Incident Management System. Compliance with the NIMS program will ensure large and complex incidents are managed safely, effectively, and efficiently. Incident Management Program Mission The Mission of the State Incident Management Program is to provide resources capable of supporting local emergency management agencies and local incident commanders based on their needs. This could be a team that provides: Advice and guidance during times of complex incidents with an Incident Management Assistance Team; (upon request) management during a complex incident with an Incident Management Team through advice and guidance; on-scene State resource coordination; or the management of any complex incident occurring on State jurisdiction.

7 Incident Management Program Strategy Through the Incident Management Program, the Department will seek to provide administrative, organizational, and technical guidance in the formation of Incident Management Teams and Incident Management Assistance Teams across the state. Using the described strategy, the Department will also attempt to provide some limited logistical and financial assistance to local jurisdictions to support team formation. Definitions, available training, targeted locations for types of teams, milestones, and proposed supporting mechanisms pertaining to logistics and finances will be outlined within the strategy. The program will also provide recommended guidelines for team qualifications, training, exercise, structure, and employment. The Department intends to meet two needs through the strategy. The first is the development of state level incident management capabilities for State response. These capabilities will be utilized to support incident management activities at the local level when requested or will support incident management needs for incidents occurring within the State s jurisdiction. The second provision is to map a coordinated effort of incident management capability building on a state level for local jurisdictions to fulfill. Obviously, all public safety entities expect that advanced incident management capabilities exist to a high degree at every level of government. However, this is not the case and the development of these capabilities requires, time, money, leadership, dedication, and hard-work. If it were easy, every jurisdiction would have these capabilities. The purpose of this program is to fill the void of incident management teams in Indiana and make achieving these capabilities easier to attain for the benefit of all Hoosiers. The strategy is to develop Local Type 4 Incident Management Teams in every Indiana county. Three Multi-Agency Coordination Teams which can support Emergency Operation Centers will also be developed. There will be a north, central, and south team. Remaining Homeland Security Districts will develop All-Hazard Incident Management Teams (Type 3) for a total of seven teams. The Department will seek to collaborate with the Indiana National Guard and other State agencies to develop a Type 2 Incident Management Team and will sponsor a Type 1 Incident Management Team consisting of responders from around the State. Consequences Indiana currently has no certified Incident Management Teams. Indiana averages one Federal disaster or emergency every 16 months. These disasters along with the numerous large scale emergencies which are not federal declarations require incident management capabilities at all levels. These disasters also become very complex due to the small units of government found within Indiana. Incidents typically cross jurisdictional boundaries and overwhelm small governmental entities. Indiana cannot afford duplication of effort and mismanagement of resources, in these instances. Incident Management Teams and Multi-Agency Coordination teams help reduce these issues. Failure to incorporate this Incident Management Program will result in a lack of change, and ultimately result in a disservice to the citizens of Indiana. It would Page 6 of 45

8 represent an unnecessary lack of progress if Indiana continues to manage disasters the way it always has. By applying the best practices, and utilizing newly developed incident management resources, supported and guided by critical lessons learned, Indiana will progress to a new level of response and recovery ensuring the best use of resources to save lives, property, and tax-payer dollars while doing it. The use of specially trained teams to manage the complex incidents which face Indiana is not only the right thing to do; it is the smart thing to do. Interagency Oversight Committee In support of this program, an Interagency Oversight Committee will be formed to provide recommended policies and guidance regarding the program. This volunteer committee will have representatives from emergency management, law enforcement, fire, public works, National Guard, and EMS. Members will be selected by the IDHS NIMS Committee and must have completed ICS 400. The committee will meet a minimum of once a month for the first year and a minimum of once every three months thereafter. Incident Management Teams Utilizing this program, IDHS will develop various types of incident management teams. At the State level, the developed teams could be utilized in an advisory capacity, management capacity, coordination capacity, and/or command capacity. At the local level, established teams will focus on the management and command functions of incident management. Additionally, Federal guidance has determined different levels of capability by the types of team. This chapter of the Strategic Plan will define the different teams along with their missions, descriptions, type, and recommended minimum composition. State Incident Management Team and Functions The State Incident Management Team will be flexible and modular to meet the needs of the incident and may be called upon to fill one of four functions. These functions are as follows: Function 1: Incident Management Assistance State Incident Management Assistance Team (IMAT) Mission The mission of the State Incident Management Assistance Team is to provide a team which can support a local jurisdiction with Emergency Operation Center Management or on site incident management with advice and guidance. The IMAT will also provide a direct conduit to the State EOC for information reporting and to request resources. The IMAT s end goal when deployed is to attain incident stabilization. The result of such assistance is to ensure incidents are Page 7 of 45

9 managed safely, effectively, and efficiently through the common framework of the ICS and through proper multi-agency coordination. State Incident Management Assistance Team (IMAT) Description Tasked with advising and assisting local emergency management directors or Incident Commanders at complex incidents, this team will consist of Command and General Staff elements and be augmented by a Communications Unit totaling 14 people. These elements will work hand in hand with local EOC staff and established Command and General Staff positions on-scene. In some cases, the IMAT team members may fulfill vacant positions until a local representative can fill the role or until the incident is transferred to an Incident Management Team. The IMAT will also serve as the forward element for IDHS to the most critical of incidents during times of disaster. Team members will consist of personnel from multiple agencies and operate under the Unified Command concept. The IMAT will have a direct link back to the State EOC for resource support and information reporting purposes. The IMAT may be requested by county emergency management directors through the State EOC and the deployment must be approved by the Emergency Response Branch Director or higher authority.

12 Function 2: Incident Management State Incident Management Team (IMT) Mission Statement The mission of the State Incident Management Team is to be capable of managing an incident on behalf of a requesting jurisdiction until the incident has transitioned to a recovery effort. The State IMT will also be capable of managing a Multi-agency Coordination Center or an Emergency Operation Center on behalf of a requesting jurisdiction in support of a complex incident until the incident has transitioned to a recovery effort. State Incident Management Team (IMT) Description An Incident Management Team differs from an IMAT in that the IMT is called upon to actually take over the management of an incident. In this circumstance, the local jurisdiction retains the responsibility of an incident and will provide a local incident commander to the IMT. The State IMT will consist of the same core personnel of the IMAT but will be augmented by key components within the ICS structure. This includes the Command and General Staff positions, a Resource Unit, a Situation Unit, a Demobilization Unit, a Supply Unit, a Communications Unit, and a Cost Unit totaling approximately 21 personnel. For the State IMT to deploy, a local declaration of disaster emergency must have been made, the State IMT was requested through the State EOC, delegation of authority has been provided, and the deployment is approved by the Emergency Response Branch Director or higher authority. FEMA Resource Type A command team comprised of the Incident Commander, appropriate command and general staff personnel assigned to the incident. (Source: FIRESCOPE) Components and Capabilities: Variations may also be based on level and type of disaster experience (i.e., local event experience vs. national event experience). U.S. Fire Administration Definition A self-contained, all-hazard or wildland team recognized at the National and State level, coordinated through the State, Geographic Area Coordination Center, or National Interagency Fire Center. All personnel meet the NWCG training regimen at the Type 2 level for their specific position. A Type 2 IMT is deployed as a team of to manage incidents of regional significance and other incidents requiring a large number of local, regional, state, and national resources. This includes incidents where Operations Section personnel approach 200 per operational period and total incident personnel approach 500. Several dozen Type 2 IMTs are currently in existence, and operate through the U.S. Forest Service. Page 11 of 45

15 Function 3: State Emergency Response Coordination State Emergency Coordination Response Team (SECRT) Mission Statement The mission of the State Emergency Coordination Response Team is to provide on-scene coordination of State resources being provided to support local disaster operations, and is capable of functioning at a County Emergency Operations Center or at an established Incident Command Post. State Emergency Coordination Response Team (SECRT) Description The State Emergency Coordination Response Team would be utilized in circumstances where an IMAT or IMT is not needed by the local jurisdiction, by an extraordinarily large amount of State resources are deployed, or may be deployed, to an affected area. The SECRT would be utilized to coordinate those on-scene resources. The SECRT consists of the core IMAT team of 14 personnel and is augmented by agency representatives of State agencies with large numbers of resources dedicated to the response. The SECRT may be deployed by direction of the Emergency Response Branch Director or higher authority when numerous requests for state resources are made for a single jurisdiction.

17 Function 3: State Unified Command Team State Unified Command Team (SUCT) Mission Statement The mission of the State Unified Command Team is to manage complex incidents occurring upon State jurisdiction. State Unified Command Team (SUCT) Description The State Unified Command Team is composed of the core members of the IMAT and any portion of the IMT which may be considered necessary by the team s unified command. The SUCT may be requested by any State agency or directed by the Governor and must be approved by the Emergency Response Branch Director or higher authority before the SUCT can deploy and assume command of any incident. It has the same typing and structure as the State Incident Management Team.

18 Local Incident Management Teams Local Incident Management Team (IMT) Mission Statement (NOTE: Each locality should define the mission of its Local Incident Management Team. This Mission Statement serves as a recommendation and is generic in nature so that it portrays the direction of the program.) The mission of the Local Incident Management Team is to be capable of managing a Type 4 incident on behalf of its jurisdiction until the incident has expanded past its capabilities and transitioned to an All-Hazard Incident Management Team, or until the incident has transitioned to a recovery effort. Local Incident Management Team (IMT) Description A Local Incident Management Team may consist of personnel from a single agency for discipline specific incidents or may consist of personnel from multiple agencies for an allhazards approach. The Local IMT may be activated in the event of expanding incidents within a jurisdiction to bring rapid organizational and stabilization efforts to bear or to prepare a proper transition to an IMT capable of the next higher level. Local IMTs are typically supported at the City and County levels of government. Local IMTs will typically consist of an Incident Commander, an Operations Section Chief, a Planning Section Chief, a Logistics Section Chief, a Finance Section Chief, a Public Information Officer, a Liaison Officer, and a Safety Officer. Target Capabilities List Description NIMS Typed Resource. Type IV IMTs are designated teams of fire, EMS, and/or law enforcement officers from a region or single jurisdiction (city or county), activated to manage a major or complex incident during the first 6-12 hours and possibly transition to a Type III IMT. Capable of functioning in an incident management function that may involve resources from multiple agencies from the discovery of and arrival at an incident up to and including a full operational period as defined by the agency or jurisdiction. FEMA Resource Type A command team comprised of the Incident Commander, appropriate command and general staff personnel assigned to the incident. (Source: FIRESCOPE) Components and Capabilities: Variations may also be based on level and type of disaster experience (i.e., local event experience vs. national event experience). Page 17 of 45

19 U.S. Fire Administration Definition A single and/or multi-agency team for expanded incidents typically formed and managed at the city or county level or by a pre-determined regional entity. It is a designated team of fire, EMS, Department of Public Works, Public Health, and/or law enforcement personnel from a larger and generally more populated area, typically within a single jurisdiction (city, county, or region), activated when necessary to manage a major or complex incident requiring a significant number of local and mutual aid resources, such as a major structure fire, a multi-vehicle crash with multiple patients, an armed robbery, or a hazardous materials spill. It may also be activated for public events. A Local IMT usually is comprised of 7-10 trained personnel who respond to incidents that are typically contained within one operational period in the control phase, usually within a few hours after resources arrive on scene, but may initially manage larger, more complex incidents prior to arrival of a Type 3, Type 2, or Type 1 IMT.

21 All-Hazard Incident Management Teams All-Hazard Incident Management Team (AHIMT) Mission Statement (NOTE: Each Homeland Security District should define the mission of its All-Hazard Incident Management Team. This Mission Statement serves as a recommendation and is generic in nature so that it portrays the direction of the program.) The mission of the All-Hazard Incident Management Team is to be capable of managing a Type 3 incident which has significant impact or disruption on a Homeland Security District and can intercede on behalf of it s own District or may be activated to support another District until the incident has expanded past its capabilities and transitioned to a Type 2 IMT or until the incident has stabilized to a recovery effort. All-Hazard Incident Management Team (AHIMT) Description An All-Hazard Incident Management Team consists of personnel from multiple agencies and disciplines for an all-hazards approach. The AHIMT may be activated in the event of large scale incidents or events affecting an entire District or a large portion thereof to assist in mitigation and stabilization efforts or to prepare a proper transition to an IMT capable of the next higher level. AHIMTs will be supported at the District level. AHIMTs will typically consist of an Incident Commander, an Operations Section Chief, a Planning Section Chief, a Logistics Section Chief, a Finance Section Chief, a Public Information Officer, a Liaison Officer, and a Safety Officer. Districts should also consider including a Staging Area Manager, Resource Unit Leader, and a Communications Unit Leader. FEMA Resource Type A command team comprised of the Incident Commander, appropriate command and general staff personnel assigned to the incident. (Source: FIRESCOPE) Components and Capabilities: Variations may also be based on level and type of disaster experience (i.e., local event experience vs. national event experience). Target Capabilities List Description NIMS Typed Resource. Type III IMTs are standing teams of trained personnel from different departments, organizations, agencies, and jurisdictions within a State or metropolitan region, deployed within a State or region to manage or support incident management at incidents that extend beyond one operational period and possibly transition to a Type II or Type I IMT. Capable of functioning in an incident management function that involves resources from Page 20 of 45

The team may serve as personnel augmentation to jurisdictions lacking in manpower or to relieve EOC staff which have been overworked as the result of the incident. The team will pursue the foundation of an organized and well coordinated response through information sharing, facilitating resource support and information and resource tracking. Multi-Agency Coordination Team (MAC Team) Description A MAC Team consists of personnel from multiple agencies and disciplines for an allhazards approach with a large emphasis on emergency managers. The MAC Team may be activated in the event of Type 3 and larger incidents or events. MAC Teams will be supported at the District level and can be called upon to support its own District or to provide mutual aid to other jurisdictions or Districts as required. MAC Teams may also be activated to form a District level Emergency Operation Center to coordinate the resources and information across entire Districts. MAC Teams will typically consist of an EOC Manager, an Operations Section Chief, a Planning Section Chief, a Logistics Section Chief, a Finance Section Chief, a Public Information Officer, a Liaison Officer, and a Safety Officer. Consideration should also be made to include an Emergency Support Function (ESF) 3 Public Works Coordinator, an ESF 4 Firefighting Coordinator, an ESF 8 Health and Medical Coordinator, and an ESF 13 Public Safety Coordinator. FEMA Resource Type There is currently a Resource called an EOC Management Support Team through FEMA, but the definition is nebulous. Clarification has been requested through the NIMS Integration Center. Required Training ICS-100 ICS-200 ICS-300 ICS-400 IS-700 IS-800 IS-230 Principles of Emergency Management Page 29 of 45

32 District Response Task Forces In support of the established Homeland Security District concept within the State of Indiana, the formation of the AHIMTs and MAC Teams should be done within the oversight of the District Planning Councils and integrated within the District Response Task Forces in accordance with the IDHS guidance for developing District Response Task Forces. Based upon each Homeland Security District s willingness to participate, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security anticipates seven Homeland Security Districts establish AHIMTs and three Homeland Security Districts establish MAC Teams within their District Response Task Force. This will provide a unique balance of Incident Management Teams and MAC Teams which will be capable of mutually supporting the diverse make-up of jurisdictions throughout Indiana. Training and Exercise In conjunction with the established required training listed within the team narratives above, each team should conduct refresher / in-service training on a regular basis. A wide range of applicable training exists in which teams can attend at remote locations together or can be brought to Indiana in which teams can attend locally. Teams will be required to meet monthly for in-service training of at least four hours. Additionally, teams must attend a 32 hour course together. Finally, teams must participate in a minimum of one discussion based and one operations based exercise per year in which the team operates within their intended capacity. A training matrix will be completed which outlines acceptable training courses in which teams can attend to fulfill their training requirements as determined by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security Training Division. Field Training For teams to be certified at the AHIMT, Type 2 or Type 1 level requires field training coordinated through the U.S. Fire Administration. To complete this training, it will require the appointment of an AHIMT Program Manager, a Field Training Liaison Officer, and an AHIMT Chief of Party. These personnel will have numerous duties to ensure the proper requirements are prepared before, during and after field training deployment. Page 31 of 45

33 Requesting a State Team Requesting an Incident Management Team Any of the State teams may be requested by a local Emergency management Director through the State Emergency Operations Center. It is incumbent on all emergency management directors to understand when a team should be requested and under what conditions so that the proper function of the team may be determined. Directors may confer with their District Coordinator who can assist in the determination for the need and type of team to request. The request for the State team does not ensure the team will respond depending on the nature of the emergency, the number of jurisdictions affected, and the number of requests for the team, a decision will be made as to which jurisdiction has the most critical need for the team. The State team will be deployed at the direction of the Director of Operations or the Director of the Emergency Response and Recovery Division. The State team may be requested to serve as an IMAT team under the following conditions: 1. An expanding incident has occurred within a jurisdiction which is believed to progress beyond the local response capabilities equivalent to a Type 3 incident. 2. The jurisdiction does not require the Incident Management Team to manage the incident on its behalf. 3. A local Declaration of Emergency / Disaster is being considered. 4. The jurisdiction desires advisory assistance only. The State team may be requested to serve as an IMT under the following conditions: 1. An expanding incident has occurred within a jurisdiction which has progressed beyond local response capabilities equivalent to or larger than a Type 3 incident. 2. The jurisdiction requests that the State Incident Management Team manages the incident on its behalf. 3. A local Declaration of Emergency / Disaster has been made or is in the process of being made. 4. The jurisdictional executive authority (County Commissioners, Mayor, etc) are willing to provide a delegation of authority to the State Incident Management Team to enable them to manage the incident. The State team may be requested to serve as the State Emergency Coordination Response Team under the following conditions: 1. An expanding incident has occurred within a jurisdiction which has resulted in the request and/or provision of large amounts of State resources. 2. The local Emergency Management Director has determined that coordination of those State resources requires on scene coordination. 3. The jurisdiction does not require State IMAT or IMT assistance. Page 32 of 45

34 Note: At the direction of the Director of Operations or the Director of the Emergency Response and Recovery Division, the SECRT may be activated and deployed to support and coordinate previously requested and deployed State resources without a request from local authorities. This would be to ensure proper State to local interface of resources. The State team may be requested to serve as the SUCT under the following conditions: 1. A large incident has occurred on State property requiring large amounts of State and local resources. 2. The responsible State agency has determined the incident has surpassed traditional levels of incident management. Note: At the direction of the Governor of Indiana or his designee, the SUCT may assume command of an incident occurring upon State property. The following process shall be followed to request the State team: 1. Requests will be made through the State Emergency Operations Center or through an IDHS District Coordinator, who will in turn notify the State Emergency Operations Center. 2. Team members will be notified and mobilize to an identified rally point to meet up with other team members. 3. The local EMA Director requesting the team should furnish the following information: a. Tracker/Mission number b. Name of incident c. Location of incident d. Designated assembly point e. Estimated time of briefing f. Point of Contact in the jurisdiction g. Contact phone numbers h. Access routes as necessary i. Any other pertinent or relevant information j. IMAT Incident Commander may be requested to call the requesting EMA Director k. Provide concurrence for position trainees to participate Note: A more comprehensive Standard Operating Procedure for requesting a State team will be developed within the State s policies and procedures. These guidelines serve as an initial model from which SOP s may be extrapolated. Page 33 of 45

35 Requesting a District AHIMT or MAC Team Districts will determine the manner in which their AHIMTs and MAC Teams will be activated. Districts will also define how their teams will be requested locally. The following serves only as an initial format from which other Districts may request AHIMTs or MAC Teams to provide mutual aid. Districts will need to identify a primary 24/7 contact point from which District Response Task Force resources may be requested. Jurisdictions which have had an incident which exceeds the capabilities of their jurisdiction and their District may request the support of another jurisdiction through the State Emergency Operations Center or through their IDHS District Coordinator, who will in turn notify the State EOC. The State EOC will subsequently analyze the request and the overall situation and determine the most appropriate District AHIMT or MAC Team to activate and respond to the request for mutual aid. The local EMA Director requesting the team should furnish the following information: a. Tracker/Mission number b. Name of incident c. Location of incident d. Designated assembly point e. Estimated time of briefing f. Point of Contact in the jurisdiction g. Contact phone numbers h. Access routes as necessary i. Any other pertinent or relevant information j. AHIMT/MAC Team Incident Commander may be requested to call the requesting EMA Director k. Provide concurrence for position trainees to participate Page 34 of 45
