Manage incident costs and expenditures consistent with direction contained in the appropriate Delegation of Authority, Agency Administrator’s Briefing, published Incident Decision or other decision support documents.
Provide mentoring and training opportunities that will lead to increased IMT participation and capacity.
Recruit future team members and trainees.
