What are major activities of the planning section at FEMA?

The planning section of the Incident Command System or ICS does a lot to do with in terms of intelligence gathering, analyzing, exploitation and dissemination. This section will gather needed data and information concerning an incident and put it into an order where it can be read correctly by stakeholders and command staff. In many cases, the Planning Section of ICS will create the Incident Action Plan (IAP) and maintain the status of an incident.
