5INCIDENT BRIEFING (ICS 201-CG)
Purpose. The Incident Briefing form provides the Unified Command (and the Command and General
Staffs assuming command of the incident) with basic information regarding the response situation and the
resources allocated to the incident. It is also a permanent record of the initial incident response.
Preparation. This briefing form is prepared under the direction of the initial Incident Commander for
presentation to the Unified Command. This form can be used for managing the response during the initial
period until the beginning of the first operational period for which an Incident Action Plan (IAP) is
prepared. The information from the ICS form 201-CG can be used as the starting point for other ICS
forms or documents.
- Page 1 (Map/Sketch) may transition immediately to the Situation Map.
- Page 2 (Summary of Current Actions) may be used to continue tracking the response actions and as the
initial input to the ICS form 215-CG and the ICS form 232-CG.
- Page 3 (Current Organization) may transition immediately to the Organization List (ICS form 203-CG)
and/or Organization Chart (ICS form 207-CG).
- Page 4 (Resources Summary) may be used to continue tracking resources assigned to the incident and
as input to individual T-Cards (ICS form 219) or other resource tracking system.
Distribution. After the initial briefing of the Unified Command and General Staff members, the Incident
Briefing form is duplicated and distributed to the Command Staff, Section Chiefs, Branch Directors,
Division/Group Supervisors, and appropriate Planning and Logistics Section Unit Leaders. The sketch
map and summary of current action portions of the briefing form are given to the Situation Unit while the
Current Organization and Resources Summary portion are given to the Resources Unit. All completed
original forms MUST be given to the Documentation Unit.
