Modular Organization

Explanation:

Modular organization is an Incident Command System structure that employs a top-down approach and identify a response organization structure on the basis of the size, complexity, or hazardous effect of an incident. It is the responsibility of the Incident Commander to establish and expand the modular organization as was the case in the example. The ICS organization was expanded to include the Evacuation Group due to the size, complexity, or severity of hazard.
