What does this date mean? Although these products may be safe if consumed after this date, their usefulness and quality may be reduced. Infant formula, baby food, and over-the-counter drugs should never be consumed after the expiration date because they may not function in the body as they are supposed to.
Normally, the Lead Agency is the agency with general governmental powers such as a city or a county. Agencies with limited powers or districts that provide a public service/utility such as a recreation and park district will tend to be a Responsible Agency.
Because there may be an Incident Commander at the inter-agency level, within PHICS the lead individual is called the Agency Incident Commander, or AIC. The AIC is provided with information (and advice and counsel) from his/her Command Staff and the Section Chiefs (for those sections that have been activated).
