Salvation Army Disaster Radio

The final episode in our ICS Hendecagon is specifically targeted to senior leadership and the role these policy-makers play in supervising and delegating authority to on-site Incident Commanders.

Time to look at the last position on our ICS chart: the Safety Officer. We examine safey's "Five Areas of Dreadful Doom" and learn why Jeff almost wore his bathing suit to today's episode.

It time to shine the spotlight on an ICS position that too often gets overlooked or (shudder!) unfilled on Salvation Army disaster operations -- learn why you need a Planning Chief.

Meanwhile, back at the Incident Command Post, somebody has to keep track of disaster personnel, tally up statistics, and divvy the cash. Enter the F&A Chief: HR director, mathematician & accountant.

With so many disaster agencies, someone has to step-up and be that double-sided bit of sticky tape that brings everyone together. Enter: Liaison Officer, inter-agency relationship builder.

Just over half-way through our ICS Hendecagon and it's time to focus on one position you won't find on most government incident command charts: the Emotional & Spiritual Care Officer.

This just in ... We interrupt our regular programming to bring you ICS episode #5, and its all about public information. That's right: television, radio, print or online, let's talk media relations.

If “America Runs On Dunkin,” then “ICS Runs On Logistics.” This shows is affectionately dedicated to my mother-in-law who can shop with the best of them.

For part three of our ICS Hendecagon, don your surgical masks and rubber gloves ... because we're doing "Operations." (Kidding .. it's not that kind of an operation. Scalpels down!)

It's part two of our ICS Hendecagon! In this episode, the spotlight falls on the big cheese of the ICS team: the Incident Commander.

It's part one of our spine-tingling foray into the mind-bending world of the Incident Command System. If cramming is your preferred study habit, then this 12-minute ICS overview is for you!
