How are resources ordered to support an incident?

The correct approach to ordering resources to support an incident is performed by the Logistics Section through off-incident locations. This method is essential for effective incident management and coordination. The Logistics Section is responsible for providing all the support services needed for the incident, including the procurement and management of resources.

By leveraging off-incident locations, the Logistics Section can efficiently source, manage, and deploy resources as required, ensuring that the incident response is well-supported without overwhelming local capabilities. This structured approach helps maintain order and effectively directs the necessary resources to the incident site, optimizing both response times and logistical operations.

Other methods mentioned, like relying on individual agencies, would lead to disorganization and uncoordinated responses. Public request systems, while important for community engagement and resource allocation in a broader context, do not serve as the primary mechanism for ordering resources during an incident under the structured management of the Incident Command System (ICS). The Operations Section focuses more on directing tactical operations rather than resource procurement, which solidifies the Logistics Section's role in this process.
