Incident management runs on paper as much as radios. Planning prints the Incident Action Plan every operational period, often hundreds of copies with maps for every crew. Finance tracks time and cost. Supply orders everything. On wildfires, KDT supplies it under the names incidents order by: Computer (GIS, iPad, laptop, network equipment, printer and other peripherals, rented weekly or monthly, with software requirements specified on the order); Copier (black-and-white or color, weekly or monthly plus a rate per copy); and the Clerical Support Unit, or "Trailer, Clerical Support", with operators plus a rate per copy.
A clerical support unit is a self-contained copy shop for the incident, built to keep up with the IAP: it produces 400 copies of a 40-page IAP twice a day in three hours or less, plus 200 copies of 30-page 11×17 map packets in three hours. It carries three photocopiers that duplex, collate, staple and print booklet IAPs; an 11×17 color printer; a 36-inch color plotter; two computer workstations; a color flatbed scanner; a laminator, shredder, paper cutter and binding tools; its own quiet-type generator (68 dB at 50 ft) and UPS; and supplies for a 7-day deployment. It arrives with qualified operators, is fully working within 2 hours of arrival, and can relocate within 4 hours. Incident data stays on the incident and is wiped before demob.
KDT supplies both: laptops, printers and plotters set up in your ICP, office trailers or tents and connected to the network, and clerical support units staffed to run the IAP. The NFES cache also stocks an "OFFICE SUPPLIES, INCIDENT BASE" kit for the consumables. On hurricanes, spills, hazmat and security work, the same equipment supports EOCs and command posts, and we can add briefing displays and shelter registration and intake stations.
