What is the focus of the Logistics Section in ICS?

The Logistics Section in the Incident Command System (ICS) is primarily responsible for providing and accounting for supplies, equipment, facilities, and personnel necessary to support the incident response. This includes obtaining resources, maintaining them, and ensuring that they are distributed where needed. The Logistics Section plays a crucial role in managing the physical aspects of the operation, ensuring that responders have the tools and support they need to effectively carry out their roles in managing the incident.

This focus on supply and resource management means that effective logistical operations are essential for an organized response and coordination during emergencies. Additionally, proper accounting for supplies ensures that resources are used efficiently and that there is accountability throughout the response effort.
