Who maintains a log of incident operations?

• A. R&S Team
• B. Command Post(CP)
• C. Medical Officer
• D. Security Officer

Answer: (B)

The Command Post serves as the central coordination hub for incident response, so it maintains the official log of incident operations. This log records who did what, when actions occurred, where they took place, and how resources were deployed, along with key communications and decisions. Having one authoritative log ensures everyone has the same situational picture and provides an auditable record for after-action reviews and accountability. Other roles may keep their own notes related to their tasks—like searches, medical care, or security events—but the comprehensive incident operations log is kept by the Command Post to reflect the full progression of the incident.
