What does IAP stand for?

• A. Incident Action Plan
• B. Incident Assessment Procedure
• C. Integrated Action Program
• D. Incident Agreement Protocol

Answer: (A)

An Incident Action Plan is the guiding document for incident operations during a defined period. It translates incident objectives into actionable steps, assigns responsibilities and tasks, and outlines the safety, communications, and organizational structure needed to coordinate efforts across agencies. It’s prepared by the Incident Commander or Unified Command and is updated as the situation evolves to keep everyone working toward the same goals. The other terms aren’t standard ICS terminology, so they don’t describe the plan that coordinates and directs response actions for the current operating period.
