Next Operational Examples: Period current Incident Management Team will transition out to a “The replacement IMT.” to review operational/ engineering plan to facilitate “Continue removal of the partially collapsed west bridge supports.” refining mapping of the recovery operations and “Continue damaged assets using GPS.” removal of “Initiate unauthorized food vendors.” Block Block Title Instructions Number Projected Final 42 Enter an estimate of the total area likely to be involved or affected over the course of the incident. Incident Size/Area Label the estimate of the total area or population involved, (use unit label e.g., – affected, or impacted with the relevant units such as acres, “sq mi”) hectares, square miles, etc. Note that total area involved may not be limited to geographic area (see previous discussions regarding incident definition, scope, operations, and objectives). Projected final size may involve a population rather than a geographic area.
