Which unit is included in the finance section of the Incident Management System?

The compensation/claims unit is part of the finance section of the Incident Management System because it is specifically responsible for managing the financial aspects related to claims for injuries and damages that may occur during an incident. This unit oversees the processes of documenting claims, assessing damages, and coordinating with insurance providers or reimbursement processes. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that all financial obligations are met and that any claims arising from incident operations are properly handled, which is essential for effective incident management.

In contrast, while the supply unit and acquisitions unit are certainly important for managing resources and procurement during an incident, they are typically categorized under logistics rather than finance. The federal emergency management agency liaison unit focuses on coordination and communication with federal resources but does not deal directly with financial matters.
