Description
Unit VII Project
This is a two-part assignment where you are being asked to create an organizational chart. Use the information from the textbook, and relate each chart to your department or the department that protects your community if you are currently not in the fire service.
Part 1: Create an organizational chart depicting the rank structure within your department or your local department. Start from the fire chief down to the newest recruit, and include any and all divisions within the organization. Also, provide a one-page summary defining the role of national, state, and local support organizations in the organizational design and command structure of the local department. Part I should be two pages long (one page for the organizational chart, and one page for the summary).
Part 2: Create an organizational chart for one of the following functional areas of the incident management system (IMS): planning, logistics, or administration/finance. Use both the textbook and outside sources to break one of these functions into its basic subunits. In a minimum of one page for the chosen function and each subunit, provide an explanation of the duties assigned to that function within that area of responsibility. Part II should be two pages long (one page for the organizational chart and one page for the explanation).
Parts 1 and 2 should be combined and submitted as one document. The completed assignment should be a total of four pages. You must use your textbook and at least two academic sources to complete this assignment. Any information from those sources should be cited and reference according to APA style.
