What is the location of the on-scene incident command under the Incident Command System (ICS)?

The location of the on-scene incident command under the Incident Command System (ICS) is established at the Incident Command Post. This central location serves as the operational hub for the incident commander and their team, ensuring coordinated management of resources, personnel, and strategic planning in response to the incident.

The Incident Command Post allows for efficient communication and decision-making, which is essential during an emergency or disaster scenario. It is specifically designed to provide a place for the command staff to oversee the operational aspects of the incident, loitering any necessary updates or changes to the incident action plan depending on the evolving situation.

Other options such as an Operations Center or a Command Center, while similar in purpose, do not specifically denote the active on-scene command functions as carried out at the Incident Command Post. The Resource Area refers to designated spaces for supporting assets but not the command structure itself. Therefore, the Incident Command Post is the correct and most appropriate designation for the on-scene command location within the ICS framework.
