This presentation talks about why it's important for any corporation to have a corporate program so the company can be properly educated and prepared to respond to a crisis or disaster to keep their employees and company assets safe. https://www.meadgroup.com/conferences/baem2017/highlights/

Communication is the backbone of any action. Without common ground for communication, even the highly trained, well equipped and sophisticated organizations will fail.
When a new security vulnerability is identified or during a large-scale attack, accurate and fast coordination is critical. While runbooks exist for many of the technical challenges, executing them in concert and filling the gaps between them requires creativity and quick thinking as well as discipline, a strong ability to read situations, and a willingness to make tough decisions.
As a content delivery network, Fastly operates a large internetwork and a global application environment, which face many security threats. Recognizing the impact security events can have, Fastly developed its Incident Command protocol, which it uses to deal with large-scale events. Maarten Van Horenbeeck, a lead on Fastly’s security team, and experienced incident commanders Lisa Phillips and Tom Daly explore how Incident Command was conceived and the protocols that were developed within Fastly to make it work. The three share a number of war stories that illustrate how Incident Command contributes to protecting Fastly, its customers, and the many end users relying on the service. Examples include a major software vulnerability that affected a Linux component in common use across Fastly and a large attack. Maarten, Lisa, and Tom cover in detail the typical struggles a company Fastly’s size runs into when building around-the-clock incident operations and the things Fastly has put in place to make dealing with security incidents easier and more effective.

LIVING WITH THE EARTH
Objectives for this Chapter
A student reading this chapter will be able to:
Discuss the history and origins of Incident Command System (ICS), the National Incident Management System (NIMS), and The National Response Plan (NRP.
List and describe the major components of ICS, NIMS, and NRP
Objectives for this Chapter
A student reading this chapter will be able to:
Describe and discuss the role of Environmental Health professionals in emergency/disaster response.
IntroductionIt is not terrorist bombs or the release of anthrax spores that spawned the birth of modern day emergency preparedness.
USS Cole
IntroductionIt began with a wildfire in Southern California in 1970 that swept through several counties during a 13 day period burning more than half a million acres, destroying over 700 structures, and costing 16 lives.
FIRESCOPEthe 92nd Congress approved funding for the U.S. Forest Service Research group to design a system or process to significantly improve the capacity of the agencies in Southern California to provide protection against wildfires.
This became known as FIRESCOPE (Firefighting Resources of California Organized for Potential Emergencies).
FIRESCOPE
There were five major program components that required planning and attention.
The coordination of the resources among many agencies during a large incident,
Creating a standard and easily understood terminology by all participants to avoid the use of professional jargon that would differ among police, fire, and emergency medical responders,
Code Four-----I'm okay or Are you okay? Police
Fire departments almost never use this term.
FIRESCOPE
Develop systems and technical capacity that would permit communication among many participating agencies,
Provide training to all members of the participating agencies in communication, terminology, and command structure, and
Develop better methods for predicting the behavior of fires.
Incident CommandThese objectives were ultimately condensed into two components of the FIRESOPE system designated as:Incident Command System (ICS) that provided a specific command structure and coordinated incident management tool.Multi-Agency Coordination System (MACS) that improved coordination among multiple agencies for large incidents that demanded massive resources.
ICSICS structure and successfully employed ICS on a number of wildland and urban fires in 1978. The use of ICS expanded to non-fire incidents. The management of these incidents was “all-hazard” as they employed the well documented and proven command structure of ICS to a wide variety of incidents.
NIIMSInitial steps to extend this ICS management structure began in 1983 with the creation of the National Inter-Agency Incident Management System (NIIMS).
Post 9/11In swift reaction to 9/11, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (H.R. 5005-8) was approved with the purpose of establishing a Department of Homeland Secur ...
This presentation is from the National Center for Campus Public Safety’s (NCCPS) webinar, Sports and Special Event Security Planning: Best Practices. In this August 2015 webinar, Richard Morman, CPP, CSSP, independent consultant and deputy chief of police (retired), The Ohio State University, discusses best practices for safely and effectively managing large on-campus events.
This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

2. WHAT IS THE INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM?
The Incident Command System (ICS) is a model for
command, control, and coordination of emergency response at the site
level.

“The
Police
and
Fire
Departments did not work
together that day, and they
rarely did before.” (Command
and Control issue)
“Other firefighters appear to
have been using one radio
channel
while
evacuation
orders went out over another.”
(Communications issue)
4. LESSONS WITHOUT FORMAL ICS
Firestorm 2003
“The criticisms the Review
Team heard ranged from too
many bosses, to no one
running the ship, to lack of
coordination, to jurisdictions
and
responsibilities
were
confusing.”
(Command
&
Control issues)

5. WHY USE THE INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM?
The same ICS structure can also be used to coordinate site support at
an Emergency Operations Centre or regional/provincial support
activity, or national support activity.

Use ICS position titles:
In multi-agency incidents to provide standardization.
All ICS communications should use clear text (that is, plain
language). Do not use radio codes, agency-specific
codes, acronyms, or other jargon.
In ordering resources to ensure understanding.
To allow most qualified personnel to be used.
“I don’t have a qualified IC for this incident.
Does your agency have one that could be assigned?”
