âPreheat oven to 350 degrees.â I hate this phrase. First, as George Carlin pointed out, itâs linguistically absurdâyou donât preheat an oven, you heat it.

(August 2010) The incident commander is the person responsible for all aspects of an emergency response; including quickly developing incident objectives, managing all incident operations, application of resources as well as responsibility for all persons involved.
Governor's Executive Order Number 26, issued on March 5, 1996, established the Incident Command System (ICS). It states that ICS shall be used in New York State, as the standard command and control system during emergency operations.. ICS is the model tool for command, control, and coordination of a response.
