events – parades, festivals, clinics
Long-term search-and-rescue operations
Ship or aircraft accidents
Hurricanes, Nor’easters, ice storms, floods, or other natural disasters
Flexible Deployment
• Team deployment is not an all-or-nothing proposition
Barnstable County Incident Management Team 13
• Every incident or planned event does not require full deployment
• The Team can allocate position-specific players as
needed for both planned and unplanned incidents
Operational Principles
• Overall responsibility for any incident will always remain with the Authority Having Jurisdiction
Barnstable County Incident Management Team 14
• The Team will provide support and consultation to Incident Command or Unified Command
• The Team would assume incident command only by delegation of authority from the local Authority Having Jurisdiction
