Abstract

The paper deals with the functions of the Incident Commander (I.C.), whose task is so deeply complex that needs an ad hoc training program organisation. I.C.’s functions, among which there are the decision making process, the communication and the coordination, are analysed, emphasizing the critical factors, and examining carefully the I.C.’s character and behavioural profile.
