Unified Command refers to incidents involving multiple jurisdictions or agencies where representatives from all operational agencies JOINTLY provide input to the Incident Action Plan, sharing a single Incident Command Post, retaining their individual accountability, legal authority and responsibilities.
In a typical UC, the Operations Section Chief will be selected from the agency having the most responsibility or the most resources involved.
