The Incident Command System (ICS), developed in the 1970s, is a systematic tool used for the command, control, and coordination of emergency response.
An ICS is based upon a flexible, scalable response organization providing a common framework within which people can work together effectively.
These people may be drawn from multiple agencies that do not routinely work together, and ICS is designed to give standard response and operation procedures to reduce the problems and potential for miscommunication on such incidents.

THE MACONDO MC252 GULF OF MEXICO OIL SPILL INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM
“EVENTS MOVING FORWARD FROM DAY ZERO”
PRESENTED BY: KIM ESTES, MANAGING PARTNER – THE ESTES GROUP, LLC
The ICS consists of a standard management hierarchy and procedures for managing incidents of any size. The ICS is interdisciplinary and organizationally flexible to meet the following management challenges:
• Meets the needs of a jurisdiction to cope with incidents of any kind or complexity (i.e. it expands or contracts as needed).
• Allows personnel from a wide variety of agencies to meld rapidly into a common management structure with common terminology.
• Provide logistical and administrative support to operational staff.
• Be cost effective by avoiding duplication of efforts, and continuing overhead.
• Provide a unified, centrally authorized emergency organization.
This seminar will focus on the Gulf of Mexico – Deepwater Horizon event and will explore the timeline of the response – Federal, State and the Responsible parties and will view some of the actions taken by each. The seminar will explore the Incident Command Structure that was employed during this disaster response that grew from zero to 46,000 people, with 6,840 vessels and 120 aircraft at its peak.
