What is the PRIMARY purpose of the Incident Command System (ICS)?

The primary purpose of ICS (Option C) is to avoid duplication of efforts and ensure coordinated responses to incidents.

Why Option C is Correct?

ICS provides a structured, standardized approach to emergency response to prevent miscommunication and inefficiencies.

ICS is designed for use in all types of incidents, from small facility issues to large-scale disasters.

IFMA’s Emergency Preparedness & Business Continuity competency highlights the importance of ICS in FM crisis management.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect?

Option A (Coordinate response to any incident): While ICS applies to all incidents, its main goal is coordination and avoiding duplication.

Option B (Coordinate response to large incidents): ICS is used for both small and large-scale incidents, not just large ones.
