ICS 211

Incident Check-In List

Purpose. Personnel and equipment arriving at the incident can check in at various incident locations. Check-in consists

of reporting specific information, which is recorded on the Check-In List (ICS 211). The ICS 211 serves several purposes,

as it: (1) records arrival times at the incident of all overhead personnel and equipment, (2) records the initial location of

personnel and equipment to facilitate subsequent assignments, and (3) supports demobilization by recording the home

base, method of travel, etc., for resources checked in.

Preparation. The ICS 211 is initiated at a number of incident locations including: Staging Areas, Base, and Incident

Command Post (ICP). Preparation may be completed by: (1) overhead at these locations, who record the information

and give it to the Resources Unit as soon as possible, (2) the Incident Communications Center Manager located in the

Communications Center, who records the information and gives it to the Resources Unit as soon as possible, (3) a

recorder from the Resources Unit during check-in to the ICP. As an option, the ICS 211 can be printed on colored paper

to match the designated Resource Status Card (ICS 219) colors. The purpose of this is to aid the process of completing a

large volume of ICS 219s. The ICS 219 colors are:

• 219-1: Header Card – Gray (used only as label cards for T-Card racks)

• 219-2: Crew/Team Card – Green

• 219-3: Engine Card – Rose

• 219-4: Helicopter Card – Blue

• 219-5: Personnel Card – White

• 219-6: Fixed-Wing Card – Orange

• 219-7: Equipment Card – Yellow

• 219-8: Miscellaneous Equipment/Task Force Card – Tan

• 219-10: Generic Card – Light Purple

Distribution. ICS 211s, which are completed by personnel at the various check-in locations, are provided to the

Resources Unit, Demobilization Unit, and Finance/Administration Section. The Resources Unit maintains a master list of

all equipment and personnel that have reported to the incident.
