Executive Summary Traffic incidents have a great effect on the safety of responders and on the mobility of the traveling public using our nation’s roadways. They can contribute to responder deaths and injuries, response equipment damage, motorist injuries through secondary crashes, and the cost and time of traffic delay in urban and rural areas. Integrated traffic incident management (TIM) is emerging as a proven solution to address these safety and mobility concerns. Traffic incident management is a planned and coordinated process to detect, respond to, and remove traffic incidents and restore traffic capacity as safely and quickly as possible. It involves the coordinated interactions of multiple public agencies and private sector partners. To develop and advance a national agenda for improved traffic incident management, the National Conference on Traffic Incident Management was held on March 11-13, 2002, at The Beckman Center in Irvine, California. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITSA), and the Transportation Research Board (TRB) sponsored the conference. A steering committee, composed of representatives from the fire and emergency response, law enforcement, towing and recovery, technology, transportation, and user communities, assisted in refining conference goals, developing the program, and soliciting participation within and across their disciplines. The steering committee was led by AASHTO, who along with FHWA, appointed steering committee members, contracted for conference planning and support, and reviewed and approved the content of the proceedings. The conference sponsors invited practitioners and policy level experts from these disciplines to participate. Participants were selected to achieve a balance between urban and rural perspectives; to identify possible “champions” for moving the national agenda forward after the conference; and to involve individuals who could draw upon experience, success stories, and lessons learned in crafting a national agenda. One hundred and sixty- seven professionals participated in the conference to discuss barriers to improving traffic incident management and to identify and prioritize actions that can be taken to address the barriers and opportunities. The National Conference on Traffic Incident Management was organized in three phases. On March 11th, experts presented, in a plenary session, the history, safety, societal impact, and issues associated with traffic incident management from the perspective of police, fire, transportation, and other public and private sector partners. The speakers provided a foundation for attendee participation throughout the rest of the conference. On March 12th, participants discussed, in small groups work sessions, their priority issues for advancing the state of the practice in traffic incident management and recommended actions/initiatives to address these issues. These breakout sessions were divided into three focus areas: Operational Issues, Technological Issues, and Institutional Issues. On March 13th, participants further refined the priority actions and initiatives and began to identify potential next steps to advance the traffic incident management agenda at the national level. Conference participants identified seven overall action items as most important for Most Important Action Items guiding a national agenda for traffic incident management. More than half of the actions Most Important Action Items For Guiding a National Agenda for came from the institutional area, while two technological actions/initiatives were cited For Guiding a National Agenda for Traffic Incident Management for better regional and cross-agency coordination. Important action items were also Traffic Incident Management • Professionalize incident identified for each of the breakout session focus areas.

The conference sponsors are committed to moving forward with a national traffic incident management strategy. During Summer 2002, efforts will be underway to explore the formation of a new national coalition to provide national leadership in addressing the conference recommendations. One of the main goals of this coalition will be begin an outreach/education process on the results of this conference and the need for action in

    A publication of the National Wildfire Coordinating Group NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management PMS 902 April 2021 NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management April 2021 PMS 902 The NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management, assists participating agencies of the NWCG to constructively work together to provide effective execution of each agency’s incident business management program by establishing procedures for: • Uniform application of regulations on the use of human resources, including classification, payroll, commissary, injury compensation, and travel. • Acquisition of necessary equipment and supplies from appropriate sources in accordance with applicable procurement regulations. • Management and tracking of government property. • Financial coordination with the jurisdictional agency and maintenance of finance, property, procurement, and personnel records, and forms. • Use and coordination of incident business management functions as they relate to sharing of resources among federal, state, and local agencies, including the military. • Documentation and reporting of claims. • Documentation of costs and cost management practices. • Administrative processes for all-hazards incidents. Uniform application of interagency incident business management standards is critical to successful interagency fire operations. These standards must be kept current and made available to incident and agency personnel. Changes to these standards may be proposed by any agency for a variety of reasons: new law or regulation, legal interpretation or opinion, clarification of meaning, etc. If the proposed change is relevant to the other agencies, the proponent agency should first obtain national headquarters’ review and concurrence before forwarding to the NWCG Incident Business Committee (IBC). IBC will prepare draft NWCG amendments for all agencies to review before finalizing and distributing.

  • Incident Management Is Your First- Step Resource to Start Or Improve Effective Ethics and Compliance Intake and Reporting Programs
    GU IVE IDE S NIT E I RI EF E D S Abridged GUI DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO IVE DE IT SE IN R F IE E S D GUI IVE DE IT SE IN R F IE E S INCIDENTD MANAGEMENT GUI IVE DE IT SE IN R F IE E S D Going Beyond the Whistleblower Hotline This version of our Definitive Guide to Incident Management is your first- step resource to start or improve effective ethics and compliance intake and reporting programs. Supplied by Why Is an Incident Management Program Important? A comprehensive incident management system allows an organization to capture, investigate and manage ethics and compliance reports from across the organization in a centralized database, regardless of reporting channel. Research continues to show that organizations with strong ethical cultures have lower rates of witnessed misconduct. By implementing an incident management program, organizations are asking and encouraging employees and third parties to report potential unethical behavior. The National Business Ethics Survey revealed that 41 percent of all employees have personally witnessed misconduct. When those events of misconduct show a repetitive pattern, it is a key indicator of a weaker culture. That’s why every organization needs a centralized, consistent way to learn about issues. An effective incident management program does more than reduce organizational risk. Requesting and addressing employee concerns and potential misconduct creates a culture of trust and respect. As employees are able to raise concerns confidentially or anonymously, and see those issues addressed, they build confidence that their requests will be handled and resolved using a consistent and fair process.

  • S260 Unit 11 Cost Accounting
    S-260: Interagency Incident Business Management Unit 11 – COST ACCOUNTING Cost accounting requires an awareness of your financial surroundings. For instance, is there a dozer sitting idle? Do you consistently forget to post your time daily? Maybe the incident management team (IMT) has recognized a big-picture problem leading to wasteful spending. Cost accounting is managing costs wherever and whenever you can. It’s doing what you can to ensure the best use of federal, state, and local funds. In this unit, we’ll review who’s responsible for tracking costs and how costs are analyzed, managed, and contained. Balancing an incident’s needs with cost expenditures is yet another challenge on a fire. We’re going to tell you why and how it’s done and who’s responsible. This topic covers: • Reasons to track costs • Responsibilities • Daily reporting requirements • Cost categories Any sound business has its eye on the bottom line. Documenting, tracking, and analyzing expenditures are all part of fiscal responsibility. There's a delicate balance between saving money and spending money in order to make the best strategic decisions. There are five identified reasons why costs need to be tracked: • Financial oversight • Recoup billable or reimbursable costs • Efficient resource management • Ensure compliance • Satisfy reporting requirements Financial Oversight Financial oversight of the incident is the responsibility of the agency administrator, who develops the Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS) to assist in financial decision making. The WFDSS is a critical document linking delegation of authority with agency-preferred operational strategies and spending limitations. Recouping Costs Tracking costs allows departments to identify which expenditures can be recovered.
