Description

ICS form document containing required "reports" to be supported by the SitRep standard.
Relates to General Requirement #15:
NIMS-ICS Compatability – Five of the latest Incident Command System forms were identified by the practitioners as containing key information required for Situation Reporting. The information contained in these five forms SHALL be included in the SitRep Standard (see the Information Requirements section) for purposes of automatic population of data vs. manual re-keying.
Because those forms were driven and vetted by cross-profession emergency practitier communities, and due to requirements for SitRep assistance in the automated population and sharing of this information, symantics applied in the SitRep standard SHOULD remain as consistant as possible with names used in these forms.
The minimum requirement is that implementers MUST have the ability to map elements from these ICS forms with the EDXL-SitRep message structure with reasonable ease, with required relationships in-tact and semantics closely resembling the original nomenclature.
ICS-201 - "Incident Briefing“
ICS-207 – “Incident Organization Chart”
ICS-209 - "Incident Status Summary Report"
ICS-215 - "Operational Planning Worksheet"
ICS-203 – “Organizational Assignment List”
(with “incident map”, sometimes replaces ICS-201)
Note1: The draft Messaging Specification section contains these elements, and is based upon the latest ICS revisions in coordination with NIMS and Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) processes.
Note 2: The actual forms MUST be reviewed with this specification to confirm information needs and relationships.
