What is an IMT?

An IMT is a comprehensive resource (a team) to either enhance ongoing operations through provision of infrastructure support, or when requested, transition to an incident management function to include all components/functions of a Command and General Staff. An IMT:

• Includes command and general staff members and support personnel.
• Has statutory authority and/or formal response requirements and responsibilities.
• Has pre-designated roles and responsibilities for members (identified and able to be contacted for deployment).
• Is available 24/7/365.

Upon arrival, the IMT’s Incident Commander (IC) meets with the local IC and the Agency Administrator (County Executive, City Manager or Mayor, etc.) to determine what they expect from the IMT, and to obtain any necessary delegation of authority. The incoming IC then briefs the rest of the incoming IMT about their role. The IMT integrates as requested into the current Incident Command System (ICS) structure.
