Assuming that the Incident Commander has activated the Operations Section, which, in turn, has activated several Staging Areas, Divisions, Branches, and Groups, which of these managers and supervisors would report directly to the Incident Commander? (a) The Operations Section Chief and the Staging Area Managers only (b) Branch Supervisors and Staging Area Managers only (c) The Operations Section Chief only (d) Any of these managers and supervisors could report to the Incident Commander.
6. Select the TRUE statement: (a) In Unified Command, resources stay under the administrative and policy control of their agencies.

(c) Unified Command staff members may be located at several different Incident Command Posts at an incident. (d) In Unified Command each agency develops its own Incident Action Plan for its role. 7. In Unified Command, tactical resources are managed by: (a) Each agency's Incident Commander (b) The Operations Section Chief (c) Command Staff of the Unified Command (d) The Planning Section Chief 8. One purpose of the Unified Command Meeting is to: (a) Delegate Establish policies to ensure appropriate delegations of jurisdiction/agency authority. (b) Develop a budget and establish ceilings on cost-sharing arrangements. (c) Designate an Operations Section Chief and develop a collective set of incident objectives. (d) Conduct an initial press conference with the media to demonstrate cohesiveness. 9. List three advantages of Unified Command: (Write your answer below.) Any three statements equivalent to the following: A collective approach is made to developing strategies to achieve incident goals. Information flow and coordination is improved between all jurisdictions and agencies involved in the incident. All agencies with responsibility for the incident have an understanding of one another's priorities and restrictions. No agency's authority or legal requirements will be compromised or neglected. Each agency is fully aware of the plans, actions, and constraints of all others. The combined efforts of all agencies are optimized as they perform their respective assignments under a single Incident Action Plan. Duplicative efforts are reduced or eliminated, thus reducing cost and chances for frustration and conflict
