Summary: | 碩士 === 元智大學 === 管理研究所 === 95 === ICS (Incident Command System) is not only an implement of commanding mechanisms and coordinating units but also a method to integrate all aiding resources. ICS on the scene of disaster help effectively to organize different operations and strengthen rescuing capabilities. Since 1970s the system has been extensively used in many rescue actions. There are 12 sorts of affairs the ICS applied, including dangerous material incidents, planned preventive issues, natural disasters, enforcing the related law, handling isolated resource tactics, conflagrations, numerous casualties, multifarious matters involved many departments or area, traffic accidents, rescue operations in vast region, eliminating pests and emergencies.
From the beginning to the end, toxic chemical disasters developed through different stages as follow: “initial response”, “continuous response”, “broadening response”, “dismissing” and “rapid recovery”. ICS must be launched with agility so that the disasters can be controlled with manpower and resource in a shortest reaction interval. In this study, an incident of chemical transportation vehicle was practiced. We built up modular ICS to deal with the incident and the system was verified by experts interview and case studies of disasters in chemical plants to ensure our ICS effective in incidents in real life.
To build up an effective toxical chemical disaster ICS, the chief apparatus (environmental departments) should recognize mechanisms to follow and solve the present difficulties, which include changing the original thinkings, endowing the commander on the scene with capabilities to make a strategic decision, organizing identical groups both in response center and rescue tems on the scene and clarifying the duties of each groups. All operation must be implemented with the integration of resources and communication to elaborate the rescuing efficiency. The results presented in this study can serve as a reference for the government departments in building up ICS to deal with different hazardous materials.
