What should the Incident Commander provide and manage during an active situation?

The Incident Commander plays a pivotal role during an active situation, primarily focusing on ensuring that the operations run smoothly and resources are allocated effectively. Providing a steady stream of appropriate resources is essential, as it helps maintain operational continuity and supports the response efforts to address the incident at hand. This includes everything from personnel and equipment to information and logistical support.

In an active incident, the ability to assess and deploy the right resources promptly can directly influence the outcome of the situation, making it critical for the Incident Commander to manage and ensure these resources are not only available but also suitable for the needs of the operation. This proactive management of resources helps in sustaining efforts and ensuring that all teams have what they need to perform their duties effectively.
