Summary: The Incident Command System (ICS) dates back to the 1970s. It took bold people brave enough to recognize their collective shortcomings and bring together multiple organizations to create a unified process to save resources, time and keep people safer. Their foundation helped the progress of the system and the many people involved in it keep communities safer and lessen the impact of natural and man-made disasters.
