A. To assign new tasks to resources
B. To ensure accountability, cost tracking, and proper return of resources
C. To improve deployment speed
D. To eliminate the need for supervision
B. To ensure accountability, cost tracking, and proper return of resources
Q4. What factor determines the establishment of incident facilities?
1. Incident size
2. Complexity
Q4. During an incident, multiple teams arrive but are not checked in. Some are duplicated, while others are missing.
What process failed?
Check-in and tracking
Q4. Which sequence BEST represents the correct process of ordering and acquiring resources?

Q5. During a large industrial fire, the Incident Commander establishes an ICP too close to the hazard zone. At the same time, resources are being sent directly to the scene without coordination, causing congestion.
What is the BEST corrective action?
Move the ICP further away and establish a Staging Area
Q5. During an incident:
Resources are requested without proper documentation
Some arrive late, others are duplicated
No clear demobilization plan exists
Which combination of failures BEST explains this situation?
Failures in ordering, tracking, and demobilization
Q5. During a major incident:
The Incident Commander identifies needed resources
Requests are made informally (not through ICS)
Some resources arrive without documentation
Others are delayed due to lack of coordination
What is the PRIMARY cause of this problem?
Failure to follow proper ordering and approval procedures
Q5. Which combination BEST describes effective tracking and deployment of resources?
A. Resources are deployed immediately without check-in
B. Resources are tracked only after deployment
C. Resources are checked in, status updated continuously, and deployed based on operational priorities
D. Resources are deployed randomly and tracked at the end
C. Resources are checked in, status updated continuously, and deployed based on operational priorities
Q5. Which principle BEST supports effective demobilization without disrupting ongoing operations?
A. Immediate release of all resources
B. Random release based on availability
C. Gradual, prioritized release aligned with incident needs
D. Reassignment without documentation
C. Gradual, prioritized release aligned with incident needs
