Transfer of
Command
Transfer of Command
. . . the process of moving the responsibility of
incident command from one Incident
Commander to another.
Transfer of Command may take place when:

1. A jurisdiction or agency is legally required to


take command;
2. It is necessary for effectiveness or
efficiency;
3. Incident complexity changes;
4. There is a need to relieve personnel on
incidents of extended duration;
5. Personal emergencies (e.g., Incident
Commander has a family emergency); or
6. Agency administrator/official directs a
change in command.
When a More Qualified
Person Arrives
The arrival of a more qualified person does
NOT necessarily mean a change in incident
command. The more qualified individual may:
Assume command according to DRRMC/
Agency guidelines.
Maintain command as it is and monitor
command activity and effectiveness.
Request a more qualified Incident Commander
from the DRRMC/ Agency with a higher level of
jurisdictional responsibility.
Transfer of Command
Procedures
Whenever possible, transfer of command
should:
o Take place face-to-face; and
o Include a complete briefing.

The effective time and date of the transfer


should be communicated to the personnel.
