1. Journal
Imagine that you are a fire service or emergency management
administrator, and you notice that one of your employees is
making jokes about a serious traumatic incident for which he
was on the scene. You realize that his behavior is likely just his
way of masking his true feelings about the incident. How would
you approach an employee exhibiting this type of behavior?
Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or
citations are necessary.
Incident Action Plan:
Phase 4 This assignment is Phase 4: Prepare and Disseminate
the Plan of the IAP. As previously stated, the IAP contains five
phases with the final submission due in Unit VIII. See Unit VIII
assignment instructions for more details about the final
requirements for the IAP. You will complete Phase 4 in this
assignment. Refer to the FEMA Incident Action Planning Guide,
specifically Phase 4.
For this assignment, you will begin preparing and disseminating
the plan of the IAP. Normally, in this phase, the incident
commander would delegate planning responsibilities to the
primary staff based on the size, scope, and complexity of the
incident as well as the particular expertise required, and they
would be responsible for completing the appropriate IAP forms
and assembling the IAP. However, in this assignment, you will
be responsible for the planning responsibilities. The textbook
National Incident Management System: Principles and Practice
(pp. 261–274) provides a checklist to help in the planning of
strategies to achieve incident objectives needed to begin Phase
4. Refer to the appendices listed below.

2. • Appendix E: Participating in the National Incident
Management System: A Checklist for NIMS Implementation
• Appendix F: Planning Responsibilities Checklist
• Appendix G: Summary of Major ICS Positions
• Appendix H: Examples of Resources for Which Typing
Has Been Completed
Also in this assignment, you will prepare a well-organized and
thoughtful summary/narrative consisting of two sections. The
first section will consist of a one-to-two-page narrative for
Phase 4 of the IAP. This narrative should expand on what you
are learning during Phase 4, so you can understand the issues
from the emergency services and emergency management.
Your narrative will replace the face-to-face meeting that
normally occurs during an incident. In your narrative (meeting),
review the work assignments to determine whether they are
complete and whether they support the incident objectives and
strategies. Identify any gaps or the duplication of work
assignments and resolve any conflicts or coordination issues. In
the narrative, make sure resources are identified correctly
(resource identifier), and when there are multiple resources of
the same kind and type, make certain that there is an individual
identifier assigned. Address resources and logistical issues, and
identify shortfalls, excesses, safety issues, and the accuracy of
the incident map. In this phase, correct any issues that you may
have overlooked. Identify any changes to the IAP that you made
which would normally have occurred during the planning
meeting.
The second section of your summary/narrative will consist of at
least two pages in which you will discuss the following

3. information:
• how emergency incidents impact the emotional and
physical fitness of emergency management personnel, and
• the definition of a program evaluation and its purpose in
NIMS.
At this point, re-check the FEMA-ICS Forms you have
completed and submitted, which are listed below.
201: Incident Briefing (Unit III Project)
202: Incident Objectives (Unit IV Project)
215: Operational Planning Worksheet (Unit V Project)
215A: Incident Action Plan Safety Analysis (Unit V Project)
Remember that any feedback from the professor should be
corrected on the forms. Any information not provided in the
background information, such as agency organization
representatives, can be your organization’s personnel or another
organization.
For Phase 4, download the ICS Forms listed below from the IAP
Assignment Documents folder in the course menu in
Blackboard, and enter the data from the background information
document and the scenario you chose in Unit III. This
information and other resources will enable you to complete
Phase 4 of the IAP for submission. Check with your professor if
you are having difficulty with any section of the form. The
FEMA Incident Action Planning Guide (pp. 30–39) will guide
you in completing Phase 4.
For Phase 4, the FEMA-ICS Forms listed below are required to

• 204: Assignment List
• 206: Medical Plan
• 207: Incident Organization Chart
• 208: Safety Message/Plan
• 209: Incident Status Summary
• 210: Resource Status Change
To supplement your discussion and support your writing, you
should use information from reputable, reliable journal articles,
case studies, scholarly papers, and other sources that you feel
are pertinent. You should use at least three sources, which can
include one or both of your textbooks. All sources used,
including the textbooks, must be referenced; paraphrased and
quoted material must have accompanying citations in proper
APA style.
