Send messages, transmit resource orders, and document coordination across the incident — with signatures, replies, and automatic archiving to the Documentation Unit.
ICS-213 keeps the exact ten blocks NIMS defines: Incident Name, To, From, Subject, Date, Time, Message, Approved by (name/sig/title), Reply, and Replied by (name/title/sig).
Sender writes the message and gets it signed by the approving position/title.
The recipient replies inside the same form. Their reply is signed and timestamped.
Every finalized 213 is filed automatically where NIMS says it should be — with a full audit trail.
