Multiple Choice

Which information is typically contained in a written IAP?

The written Incident Action Plan is about conveying what needs to be done and how operations will be carried out, including who is responsible for each task, where resources will go, and what safety considerations apply. The tactical worksheet and the incident briefing are central to that purpose: the worksheet provides a concrete list of tasks, locations, resources, and timing to implement the plan, while the incident briefing communicates this plan to incoming units so everyone understands the objectives, strategy, and assignments. Budget restrictions belong in administrative planning rather than the operational plan, PPE inspection documentation is part of equipment safety and maintenance records, and names of individuals involved are typically found in personnel rosters or unit listings rather than the core IAP content.
