This unit discusses the CERT organization structure and documentation requirements. It describes how CERT teams utilize the Incident Command System to organize their response, with a designated Incident Commander/Team Leader who establishes command and prioritizes response activities. Proper documentation of actions, assessments, and resource usage is critical and should flow from field teams to the command post to maintain situational awareness and accountability. Safety of rescuers is the top priority in determining appropriate response levels based on damage assessments.
