	The Critical Incident Technique
		The critical incident technique, which was developed by Flanagan about fifty years ago, is a very useful tool in needs assessment and in the collection of data pertaining to problem areas that require attention.
		The Critical Incident Technique is essentially a set of operations for collecting direct observations of human behavior in defined situations in such a way as to use the information in solving practical problems, e.g., assessing educational gaps.
		Usually, such incidents are defined as extreme behavior, either very effective or ineffective with respect to attaining the general aims of the activity.

	CDF Internet: Fire Terminology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Air attack planes fly over an incident, providing tactical coordination with the incident commander on the ground, and directing airtankers and helicopters to critical areas of a fire for retardant and water drops.
		Incident bases are set up within a close but safe proximity to the incident.
		The incident base is similar to a small city complete with sleeping areas, feeding areas, toilets, showers, and equipment repair facilities.

	EDUCAUSE \| Security Task Force \| Incident Handling and Response (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		There is a better chance that incidents will be handled effectively if you outline in policy the types of incidents that an institution is concerned with, the responsibilities of individuals to report these incidents, and the appropriate response for certain types of incidents.
		Interestingly, incident priorities differ between institutions depending on their culture and other policies, and there are certain types of incidents that one institution may tolerate while another may not.
		Once an incident has been resolved, it is useful to perform a quick review of what occurred to ensure that all necessary actions have been take and documented, and to determine if any aspects of response process can be improved (for example, forensic readiness, communication, procedures, and checklists).

	First World War.com - Primary Documents - The Tampico Incident, 20 April 1914
		The nature of the discourtesy - the arrested sailors were paraded through the streets of Tampico - was such that Admiral Henry Mayo, commander of U.S. naval forces in the region, declined an initial Mexican apology for a verbal apology.
		Instead Mayo demanded that the person or persons responsible for the incident be punished and that the U.S. flag be given a 21-gun salute on shore.
		A "creeping barrage" is an artillery bombardment in which a 'curtain' of artillery fire moves toward the enemy ahead of the advancing troops and at the same speed as the troops.

	Developing an Effective Incident Cost Analysis Mechanism
		As we shall see, the need for diligence in collecting time data for every security incident response calls for policies and procedures to be set at the institutional level, and enforced as a regular part of incident handling, in order to have meaningful figures on institutional losses due to security incidents.
		Incident handlers and system administrators are often advised to keep notebooks and to take careful notes of what they did, when they did it, etc., but the reality is that most do not do it.
		Leaving law enforcement aside (because it’s a convenient excuse for not estimating losses), if incident cost estimation and tracking were required within all institutions, public and private, the sorely needed data on total security incident costs and trends would be there, and I strongly believe the benefits of investment in prevention would clearly be shown.

	ICS Orientation
		The Incident Commander is the person in charge at the incident, and must be fully qualified to manage the incident.
		As incidents grow in size or become more complex, a more highly qualified Incident Commander may be assigned by the responsible jurisdiction or agency.
		Depending on the size and type of an incident or event, it may be necessary to designate personnel to handle these additional activities.

	CERT/CC Incident Reporting Guidelines
		Due to limited resources and the growing number of incident reports, we may not be able to respond to every incident reported to us.
		FIRST aims to foster cooperation and coordination in incident prevention, to prompt rapid reaction to incidents, and to promote information sharing among members and the community at large.
		Incident reports that are sent shortly after the incident occurred are the most likely to be valuable to the recipient and to us.

	Incident Commander: A Crisis Training Simulation
		Incident Commander is a PC-based software simulation that models real-world situations within a community, allowing for training at the management level for a critical incident.
		Focusing on smaller (less than 500,000 residents) jurisdictions, players will face the problems of dealing with a school hostage situation; a chemical spill, the aftermath of a severe storm, and a possible terrorism incident, as they fill the roles of the Incident Commander and his or her Command team.
		The lessons learned by playing the simulation fed directly into the practices of setting up an incident command structure and then operating within that structure once it was established.

		Once a decision is made that the incident may involve CBR material, the checklist, found in Section F, should be completed and forwarded to the appropriate authority for coordinating the response to the incident.
		Chemical incidents are characterized by the rapid onset of medical symptoms (minutes to hours) and easily observed signatures (colored residue, dead foliage, pungent odor, and dead insect and animal life).
		Because of the delayed onset of symptoms in a biological incident, the area affected may be greater due to the migration of infected individuals.

	Managing the INCIDENT
		Because Columbine was in Littleton’s fire district, the department was responsible for the fire and EMS response to the incident.
		In an incident such as the one unfolding at Columbine, the fear was that the suspects would escape and move into the larger surrounding community, escalating the situation into an even worse scenario.
		One of the technical problems of the Columbine incident was the inability of different agencies to communicate effectively because they were operating on different radio systems and different channels.

	CBC Sports Online: The Bertuzzi Incident
		I had spent the better part of a decade trying to convince Bob that hockey was worthy of Canadians' loving embrace.
		Gilman wrote that a recent state law designed to keep the court system accessible to Coloradans in the wake of a large number of cases filed by non-residents required her to do so.
		The judge did add that she agreed with Bertuzzi's legal representatives that the case would be more appropriately heard in Canada, given the site of the incident and the residency of the participants.

	The Avalon Project : The U-2 Incident 1960
		The fact that such surveillance was taking place has apparently not been a secret to the Soviet leadership, and the question indeed arises as to why at this particular juncture they should seek to exploit the present incident as a propaganda battle in the cold war.
		This Government had sincerely hoped and continues to hope that in the coming meeting of the Heads of Government in Paris Chairman Khrushchev would be prepared to cooperate in agreeing to effective measures which would remove this fear of sudden mass destruction from the minds of people everywhere.
		Far from being damaging to the forthcoming meeting in Paris, this incident should serve to underline the importance to the world of an earnest attempt there to achieve agreed and effective safeguards against surprise attack and aggression.

	Burned Iraqi Children Turned Away By US Army Doctors
		The incident comes at a time when U.S. troops are trying to win the confidence of Iraqis, an undertaking that has been overwhelmed by the need to protect themselves against attacks.
		In addition, Iraqis maintain the Americans have not lived up to their promises to improve security and living conditions, and incidents like the turning away of the children only reinforce the belief that Americans are in Iraq only for their own interests.
		The incident came to light after an AP photographer took a picture of Borell being comforted by a colleague after the doctors refused to care for the children.

	Manchurian Incident. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		This view was confirmed when the Manchurian general Chang Hsüeh-liang, a recent convert to the Kuomintang, refused to halt construction of railway and harbor facilities in competition with the South Manchurian Railway, referring Japan to the Nationalist central government.
		When a bomb of unknown origin ripped the Japanese railway near Shenyang (then known as Mukden), the Japanese Kwantung army guarding the railway used the incident as a pretext to occupy S Manchuria (Sept., 1931).
		Despite Japanese cabinet opposition and a pledge before the League of Nations to withdraw to the railway zone, the army completed the occupation of Manchuria and proclaimed the puppet state of Manchukuo (Feb., 1932).

	Incident Response Tools - Security - Network Computing
		The modifier incident response is applied to tools that let investigators gather any necessary data following an "incident"--a security breach or other event that requires inquiry.
		Memory analyzers--which are used during incident response to gather data and during forensics analysis to examine data--straddle both groups.
		As a result, all tools and methods used during a live incident response, such as netstat and tasklist, must be fully documented, and staffers must have a thorough understanding of each tool and method and its impact in the event the incident leads to civil or criminal prosecution.

	Current Wildland Fire Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Managing emergency incidents like wildland fires can be complex, confusing and inefficient, usually because multiple agencies at the Federal, state and local levels are trying to work with each other in a pressure-packed situation.
		The single standard Incident Management System (ICS) was developed in the United States almost 30 years ago, and it has become the system envied and imitated by emergency response organizations around the world.
		The IC determines incident objective and strategy, sets immediate priorities, establishes an appropriate organization, authorizes an Incident Action Plan, coordinates activity for all Command and General Staff, ensures safety, coordinates with key people and officials, authorizes release of information to the news media and the public, and other key duties.
