The Chief provides, through real-life experience, the necessity to delegate, and use sectoring, as the incident expands. In addition, assign chiefs to the most critical areas of concern, also describes geographic sectoring to help divide the incident, and how an IC will rely on their status and needs report so the IC can redirect forces as needed.
