Who is primarily responsible for receiving updates on developing incidents at all times?

The On-Call Chief is primarily responsible for receiving updates on developing incidents at all times because this role is designated for real-time incident management and oversight. The On-Call Chief typically has the authority to make critical decisions during incidents, ensuring that resources are properly allocated and that there is effective communication among different units. This position requires a comprehensive situational awareness to effectively manage the incident from start to finish, facilitating coordination with other personnel, departments, and agencies involved.

Other roles, such as the Deputy Medical Directors, while crucial in medical oversight and decision-making, do not hold the same primary responsibility for overall incident updates. The Training and Support Bureau focuses on educational and training initiatives, and the Emergency Response Bureau coordinates operational responses but may not be specifically tasked with receiving ongoing updates in the same manner as the On-Call Chief. This delineation ensures that there is a single point of command responsible for maintaining the flow of information critical to effective incident management.
