Unified Command. All agencies in this OP have the potential need to use Unified Command on incidents. Outside agencies to be considered for this type of command structure include: state agencies, city fire departments, county fire agencies, private stakeholders, and federal partners. Unified command is defined as: “An application of ICS used when there is more than one agency with incident jurisdiction or when incidents cross political jurisdictions.” Agencies work together through the designated members of the Unified Command to establish their designated Incident Commanders at a single ICP and to establish a common set of objectives and strategies and a single Incident Action Plan. Most extended attack fires in the Okefenokee Swamp will involve unified command with state partners due to the nature of indirect attack often involving private lands around on the perimeter of the swamp. This does not exclude the use of the local Type 3 IMT, if agreed upon by the Unified Agency Administrators.

In which case the participation of each hospital is expected to give accurate and continual communications about their status to the RUCC and also communicate their medical needs and what resources they may offer other facilities. Typically the county EMA’s are part of this RUCC but their may be a separate RUCC for Healthcare in addition to county EMA depending on the nature of the emergency. During a disaster drill or actual emergency, upon the request by the Incident Commander, the Liaison officer of the affected hospital, will use the Maine Health Alert Network (HAN), EMResource and WeBEOC as referenced in appendix 9, 10 to contact the other participating hospitals within their region to determine the availability of additional personnel or material resources, including the availability of beds, as the situation warrants.
