Optimize your emergency response procedures with an ICS org chart

In an emergency, every second counts, and a well-organized Incident Command System (ICS) is indispensable. Whether you are dealing with a house fire or a medical emergency in the workplace, having designated first responders, understanding how to access necessary resources, and knowing who to notify are all essential. To keep everyone in your organization on the same page regarding these important points, you’ll want an ICS organization chart.

Lucidchart provides an ICS org chart template that will provide your organization with a hierarchy of emergency responders, standardize your emergency response approach, and help you become more compliant with the National Incident Management System (NIMS).

Rather than giving you a blank ICS org chart, we provide a template with examples. You can use this example of a NIMS ICS org chart to learn more about the ins and outs of charting incident command and then customize it to your specific needs.
