Expert Answer

The operational period briefing is a meeting in which the Incident Commander or selected staff presents the incident’s objectives, plans, and tactics during a specified operating period. This briefing gives reaction workers a clear strategy and direction for the specified period, outlining their roles, duties, and particular assignments. It also covers safety, logistical, and other essential information to facilitate a coordinated and effective response.
