Assignment of responsibilities: The first arriving emergency unit(s) upon determining the event to be an MCI event, shall declare such by radio and immediately initiate the Incident Command System ((ICS); see policy 110.01).
+Upon the occurrence of an MCI in the City of Maitland, the concept of operations for this plan incorporates several key actions, and because victims may have received life-threatening injuries, these actions must be initiated as soon as possible.
