Which of the following is NOT a responsibility of the Incident Command?

• A. Logistics
• B. Safety
• C. Public Information
• D. Liaison

Answer: (A)

In ICS, responsibilities are organized by role: Command Staff handle Safety, Public Information, and Liaison, while the General Staff carry out Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance/Administration. The Incident Command oversees overall incident strategy, safety, and interagency coordination, and works with the Command Staff for safety, public messaging, and external coordination. Logistics, however, is a separate function managed by the Logistics Section Chief, focusing on obtaining resources, facilities, services, and support for operations. So, while the Incident Command guides and integrates all efforts, the actual logistics tasks are assigned to the Logistics Section, not the Incident Command itself.
