Introduction to Pre-Incident Planning

Pre-Incident Planning can be used to inventory fire pre-incident plans and understand hazards and risks that affect responding personnel and building occupants.

For more than 20 years, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1620 Standard has guided the development of pre-incident plans that help first responders meet specific demands within their community. While pre-incident planning may seem like a given today, it is often neglected for other duties and is especially time consuming if it is done on paper. Forward-thinking fire departments have implemented procedures that streamline the maintenance of pre-incident plans and simplify access to information during an incident. Pre-Incident Planning helps fire departments and fire agencies, effectively manage incidents and maximize the protection of building occupants, responding personnel, property, and the environment.

The Pre-Incident Planning solution delivers a set of capabilities that help fire agencies inventory pre-incident plans, conduct routine assignments, collect site considerations, and understand hazards and risks that affect responding personnel and building occupants.
