INCIDENT COMMAND BOARD (iPad and desktop)
A digital NIMS/ICS hazmat tactical worksheet modeled on FIRESCOPE.
• Active-incident timer with status transitions
• Strategic Mode picker with breach detection if non-intervention is declared while a hot-zone crew is committed
• Objective Priorities tracking in standard NIMS order
• Full Command Staff roster
• Department roster — preload personnel on this device via bulk paste or CSV / Excel import with column-mapping. IC taps a name onto a zone instead of typing during an incident
• Five PPE selections — Levels A–D (EPA hazmat) plus Rescue Mode (turnout + SCBA for life rescue) with a "RESCUE IN PROGRESS" overlay
• Hot Zone — entry + two backup teams, per-member SCBA tracking (60/45/30/20-min) with turnaround and over-time math
• Warm Zone — decon level, corridor status, decon team, separate decon air limit
• Cold Zone — staging area and mutual-aid agency tracking
• Rehab tracking — send, clear, return to duty
• PAR cycle with configurable interval, due / overdue alarms, one-tap acknowledge
• One-tap HazMat benchmarks — Recon Complete, Product Identified, Isolation Established, Entry Made, Leak Controlled, Decon Operational, All Clear — timestamped to the log
• Scene material linkage — drop a chemical onto the incident; TIH banner and isolation distances pull in automatically
• Timestamped Activity Log with notes for after-action review
• Archived incident history with PDF / JSON / CSV export — every reset incident is preserved on this device for exposure records and after-action review. Persists across app data updates.
