A Brief History of the ICS
In the 1980's local, State and Federal agencies worked together to develop a common organizational system that fire protection agencies could use in response to a very large event, as well as smaller day-to-day events. This process, known as Firescope, is utilized by most fire departments.
The DMC ICS incorporates many elements of Firescope.

Job Action Sheets
Job Action Sheets are a checklist of tasks that the assigned person will perform. This makes it easy for anyone to assume that role and perform the necessary duties.
These sheets are found in the Emergency Command Center.
The Job Action Sheets are distributed by the Incident Commander, or Section Chief, and immediate supervisors.

Crosswalk Job Titles
Job titles in ICS are matched, or cross-walked, to the most similar position in the hospital.
Staff assume a position in the ICS
that is similar to their usual job.
These sheets are found in the Emergency Command Center.
For example, the position of Facility Unit Leader could be filled by the DMC position of Site Manager, Facility Services. The Incident Commander may be filled by the Hospital President, if available.
