Documenting critical events is so import especially is your actions are questioned or something is perceived to have gone wrong. With good solid documentation you’re actions and your leaders intent can be questioned but not disputed.

Seasonal drought outlook through June 30
The National Weather Service has released an updated Seasonal Drought Outlook for March 21 through June 30, 2013.
Latest Seasonal Assessment – The drought outlook for March 21 – June 30, 2013 is based primarily on short-, medium-, and long-range forecasts, initial conditions, and climatology. Since the release of the previous drought outlook issued on March 7, 2013, the largest drought improvement occurred across the middle to upper Mississippi Valley and the Ozark region. Improvement is forecast to continue across these areas and extend northwest to include much of the Dakotas and Minnesota. Some improvement is forecast for the most intense drought areas of the central and southern Great Plains. Prospects for drought improvement decrease further south across the southern high Plains and Texas. Drought is forecast to persist for much of the West and expand across northern California and southern Oregon. During the past two months, major improvement occurred across Georgia and South Carolina where additional improvement is expected. Drought is forecast to persist or develop across the Florida peninsula but it will likely be short-lived as the rainy season typically begins during June. Some improvement is expected for the smaller areas of drought across northern Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands.

Incident Transition

InciNotes™ assist with transfer of command from a Type 3 to a Type 2 incident management team. InciNotes™ allows the Type 3 Incident Commander to send a real time report to incoming Type 2. This report will give them Incident information on all aspects of the incident prior to arrival.

This will put the incoming Type 2 Team ahead of the power curve. This report can be sent to all team members that have the ability to retrieve the report from their mobile technology devices.

Transfer of Command

The following guidelines will assist in the transfer of incident command
responsibilities from the local unit to incoming Incident Management Team and back to the local unit.

• The local team or organization already in place remains in charge until the local representative briefs their counterparts on the incoming team, a Delegation of Authority has been signed, and a mutually agreed time for transfer of command has been established.

• The ordering unit will specify times of arrival and transfer of command, and discuss these timeframes with both the incoming and outgoing command structures.

• Clear lines of authority must be maintained in order to minimize confusion and maintain operational control.

• Transfers of command should occur at the beginning of an operational period, whenever possible.

• All operational personnel will be notified on incident command frequencies when transfer of command occurs.
