Possible Answers:

1. Incident Action Planning

Explanation:

The incident action plan characteristic of the incident command system is responsible for handling the recorded documents and communicating the assignments, tactics, and the incident objectives

The incident may increase according to the incident response activities’ size, length, and complexity. A written plan is made to execute the operations correctly. The incident action plan further guides the activities in the incident management and generally consists of the following factors:

• Communicate as well as record the objectives of the incidents
• Record the tactics and assignments for support and operations that are recommended for all the operations

The written incident action plan is essential due to the complexity, involvement of multiple jurisdictions, and extension of the incident operation period.
