Format Options

You can generate most forms as PDF files (.pdf) or in the standard documents format (.doc). 

Note: You need Adobe^® Reader 9 or later to access PDF forms and reports.

If you generate in .doc format, you can fill it in online. If you generate a PDF file, you can print it and fill it out manually.

All Forms Option

In addition to generating individual forms, you have the option of printing all forms at one time (HICS IV standard). The set of forms and reports is generated in PDF format, in the order they are listed in the Print Form window. You can print all forms from the Incident Dashboard or from the Recovery area. Printing these forms and reports can be very helpful when you need to produce an After Action Report on the incident. It can also be useful for capturing a snapshot of the incident as it progresses.

Incident Escalation

When incidents are escalated, changes are made to the forms and reports associated with the incident. For example, escalation is added as an event on the incident event log and the escalation event is then highlighted in HICS 201 Incident Briefing and the HICS 214 Operational Log.

Also, because escalating an incident involves pulling another Incident Response Guide (IRG) into the response effort, the HICS 202 Incident Objectives report is updated to sort objectives by IRG, and then by priority and objective name.
