ICS was developed in the 1970 after a seris of events in California revealed problems in the management of the state's response efforts What were these events?

The development of the Incident Command System (ICS) in the 1970s was primarily driven by the challenges faced during a series of wildfires in California, particularly the 1970 California wildfire season, which highlighted the need for better coordination among multiple agencies responding to emergencies. The complexity of managing various resources, personnel, and communication during these large-scale incidents underscored the necessity for a standardized system to improve efficiency and effectiveness in disaster response. This led to the establishment of ICS as part of the broader effort to enhance interagency collaboration and streamline emergency management processes.
