Scientists serving as Technical Specialists (TS) are important members of Incident Management Teams as is described in the United States National Incident Management System. Safety for the responders and the threatened population is the foremost consideration in command objectives and decisions. The TS is on-scene in the Incident Command Post or Emergency Operations Center to provide scientific information and to promote safety and the efficiency of operations. We aim for a mix of presentations that will: · Share examples of TS support during the Response and Recovery phases of recent disasters. · Encourage qualified earth, ocean, or atmospheric scientists to participate in emergency response operations. · Discuss training resources for scientists to effectively participate in the Incident Command System. Presentations will include lessons learned from on-scene Technical Specialists to demonstrate the role of critical data analysis, technical details, and forecasts during emergencies.
