When you realize the incident is going to last for several days?

You Need to Establish an EOC

Under ICS, the Incident Commanders should have already established a “Situation Unit Leader” and “Response Unit Leader”
These two people can assist the “Planning Section Chief” leader in planning for the next operating cycle (usually 12 hours).
The Planning Section Chief probably has the most important job in the EOC
He is scheduling meetings with the IC’s, Op’s chiefs, and other section chief’s
He has most of the personnel in the EOC – more than Logistics, Finance, Operations, and Command
What does a planning cycle include?
Who has a Planning Cycle to model after?
What does it look like?
