The IMS/IC Flowchart is a guide for Incident Commanders (IC) to follow to keep them on track during an incident.
The key aspect to being an incident commander is always having the ability to describe the situation. To make this easy, we want the IC to always think in terms of a CAN report: Conditions, Actions and Needs. When the IC uses this format they always have the ability to accurately describe the current status of the event. When the IC needs information from their subject matter experts (SMEs) they should receive information in this same format. When everyone understands the terminology and information flow, considerable time is shaved from the incident resolution time. The use of IMS during incidents is focused on saving seconds, minutes and hours which dramatically reduces your downtime.
