The establishment of NIMT-National Incident Management Team (ICS Concept) 10. One recommendation in the Inter-Cluster Meeting last May 27, 2017 was the activation of the ICS-Incident Command System. It is a standardized, on-scene, allhazards incident management concept. It allows its users to adopt an integrated organizational structure to match the complexities and demands of single or multiple incidents without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries. The basic benefits of ICS are following, among others: a. Flow of information and resources within, and between all groups, and at all levels both horizontal and vertical. b. Coordination between groups and all levels. c. Rapid mobilization, deployment & tracking of resources. d. Development of trends & patterns. e. Minimizes confusion & errors. 11. At present, the Incident Command System has been established, known in Marawi Crisis as NIMT – National Incident Management Team, complete with structures and operating sections who shall supposed to be strategic in its perspective. Both the ICS or NIMT – National Incident Management Team and NEOC – National Emergency Operations Center are now housed at Mahogany Hills, Iligan City. Control of the operations for IDPs of Marawi are essentially lodged now with the NEOC, having a direct hand on the activated clusters. 12. On the other hand, the NIMT/ICS limits its objective to the following: a. To ensure safety of the responders, b. To establish seamless coordination between DSWD and DOH, c. To ensure the welfare of the IDPs are still validated. 13. IDPs related service functions are done through the National Emergency Operations Center while the NIMT/ICS now visibly engrossed with VEHICLE PASS ISSUANCE to responders in coordination with the operating Security Sector in various checkpoints in Lanao del Sur and other neighboring areas. The NIMT/ICS serves also as a water supply dispatching arm to supply evacuation centers. The water is an output of the SKY HYDRANT facility of Balay Mindanao Foundation, Inc. 14. Instead of the NEOC being an emergency operations arm of the NIMT/ICS, NEOC now serves as ICS itself and the organized NIMT/ICS compliments NEOC in a very limited way. This is not supposed to be the way because the operations results are consequential. NIMT/ICS must be on top of the NEOC exercising command and control of the NEOC operations. 15. Resources for Marawi IDPs are reported to be enough to answer the needs of the evacuation centers and possibly to include the home-based IDPs. The dynamism and structure of the ICS is very much needed in the humanitarian operations to effectively and efficiently allocate all the resources for the IDPs and all other concerns of the IDPs, evacuation centers, leadership and command structures, both in strategic and tactical levels. Visibility of CHR in humanitarian operations: A recommendation 16. It would be kind enough if CHR as an institution metamorphosed to a level that it could provide service initiatives to IDPs in humanitarian situations. In regular and ordinary situations, CHR basically functions as a monitoring body. In humanitarian 102
