Ics 201 Form PDF Details

The Incident Briefing (ICS 201) form is an essential document used in managing responses to incidents by providing a snapshot of the situation and guiding the initial actions of the incident management team. It collects critical information, such as the incident name, number, initiation date and time, and includes a map or sketch depicting the operation area, impacted locations, and other vital data. The form facilitates a situation summary and a health and safety briefing, necessitating measures to mitigate identified hazards to safeguard responders. Prepared mainly by an Incident Commander, it outlines the current and planned objectives, actions, strategies, and tactics, organizational structure, and a summary of resources, detailing their assignments, status, and expected arrival times. This document is crucial not just for briefing but also serves as an initial action worksheet and a part of the Incident Action Plan (IAP), ensuring a well-documented and communicated incident response plan. Even more, it is strategically designed to be duplicated and distributed prior to briefings, ensuring that key sections are readily available to specific units within the response team, thereby streamlining the flow of information and facilitating a coordinated response effort.

Incident Briefing

Purpose. The Incident Briefing (ICS 201) provides the Incident Commander (and the Command and General Staffs) with basic information regarding the incident situation and the resources allocated to the incident. In addition to a briefing document, the ICS 201 also serves as an initial action worksheet. It serves as a permanent record of the initial response to the incident.

Preparation. The briefing form is prepared by the Incident Commander for presentation to the incoming Incident Commander along with a more detailed oral briefing.

Distribution. Ideally, the ICS 201 is duplicated and distributed before the initial briefing of the Command and General Staffs or other responders as appropriate. The “Map/Sketch” and “Current and Planned Actions, Strategies, and Tactics” sections (pages 1–2) of the briefing form are given to the Situation Unit, while the “Current Organization” and “Resource Summary” sections (pages 3–4) are given to the Resources Unit.

Notes:

The ICS 201 can serve as part of the initial Incident Action Plan (IAP).

If additional pages are needed for any form page, use a blank ICS 201 and repaginate as needed.
