Well post brief article, or as we call it LLIS (Lessons Learned Information Shared.) ICS has proven its worth over the years. Coordination is the key to any successful SAR mission even if it is a recovery operation.
Sadly many agencies still refuse to use ICS even though it was mandated training by FEMA in the mid-2000 (after NYC and the Shuttle crash.) Practicing daily can make the first responder community highly trained when the multi-agency requirement of ICS is needed. As a former SAR Instructor and Level 400 ICS instructor, I can tell you this article was spot on. Thanks, Mike Hart for a great article and break down on how rapid responses are to be handled.
