All Hazard Incident Management Support Team (IMST)

All of our incident support staff has extensive experience dealing in an all-hazard environment to plan for, respond to, and recover from disaster occurrences. Actual incidents include numerous tropical cyclones, severe weather events, tornados, floods, oil spill responses, bio and chemical hazardous materials, mass immigration, urban search and rescue, aviation crashes and civil riots and unrest.

In the event that a disaster escalates to a proportion where your agency requires addition Emergency Operations Center (EOC) support services, our team can provide Incident Management Support Teams (IMSTs) to support and augment your staffing. This service allows your agency to maintain continuity of operations and continuity of government while effectively managing the incident. We can provide short-term and long-term staff support in the way of:

• Operations Section - Division/Group Supervisors,
• Planning Section - Situation, Resources, Documentation & Demobilization Unit Leaders,
• Logistical Section -  Communications, Supply & Facilities Unit Leaders,
• Finance/Admin Section - Time, Procurement, Compensation, Claims & Cost Unit Leaders, or
• Emergency Support Functions (ESF) positions, based on need and the level of response

Our team can provide subject matter experts (SMEs) comprehensively experienced in all components of the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the Incident Command System (ICS) and the National Response Framework (NRF). When activated, our personnel shall be prepared to integrate with your staff, and shall function as an integral part of the response and recovery staffing. However, decision-making authority shall remain at all times with your management staff.

All of our SMEs have the extensive, in-depth experience necessary to staff the EOC supporting the command and general staff in the areas of command, operations, planning, logistics, administration/finance, liaison, public information, and safety or Emergency Support Functions (ESF) positions during an extended emergency event, as necessary. All SME staff members have written, produced and managed hundreds of incident action plans during large emergencies, disasters, and pre-planned events. Additionally, our staff has extensive experience working in Multiagency Coordination Systems/Emergency Operations Centers, Area Command and Unified and Single Command Posts.

All services shall comply with and conform to industry standards, the National Incident Management System, Incident Command System, and National Response Plan/National Response Framework, as defined by the Department of Homeland Security, National Integration Center (NIC) Incident Management Systems Division and state and local emergency plans and procedures.
