Written plan that defines the incident objectives and reflects the tactics necessary to manage an incident
As defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), an Incident Action Plan (IAP) Board is a written plan that defines the incident objectives and reflects the tactics necessary to manage an incident during an operational period.
Developed through the incident action planning process, the IAP is a “downward-looking” function that is operational at its core; it is not simply an assessment tool, feedback mechanism, or report. A well-crafted IAP helps senior leadership understand incident objectives and issues.
The IAP board set in WebEOC includes a collection of ICS forms that commonly make up an IAP. This board set allows you to create an unlimited number of IAPs and publish them to keep a historical record of IAPs for each operational period.
This board set includes a templates component, that allows you to create and maintain a library of predefined IAPs specific to different types of incidents. Templates can be accessed by planning personnel to start an IAP from a partially developed plan, greatly reducing the time it takes to develop your IAP.
The latest ICS forms, based on the FEMA Incident Action Planning Guidance, are included in this IAP. For more information about the ICS Forms, see: https://training.fema.gov/icsresource/icsforms.aspx.
