Incident Command System

Incident Command Post (ICP)

This is the location where the Incident Commander operates from during the incident.  For every incident there is only one ICP but the location may change during the event. The ICP may be located in a tent, a vehicle or trailer or within a building. The ICP should be placed outside the current and potential hazard zone but close enough to maintain command. [7]
