What it does
Keeping the incident running on paper.
An incident runs on documents as much as it runs on diesel. The clerical support unit is built to print thousands of Incident Action Plans and maps for a camp without slowing down, and to scan and handle the paperwork that moves through a command team.
The unit is staffed and working from the first morning briefing late into the night, whatever it takes to have the plans and maps the camp needs ready by morning. It also runs a job delivery service, carrying completed documents to where they are needed across the camp.
Most equipment vendors do not offer back-of-camp support at all. Evergreen does, it arrives staffed, and the crew stays until the incident closes.
Round out the camp
The rest of the camp.
The clerical unit runs back-of-camp. These three lines field the rest.
Questions
Common clerical unit questions.
Does the trailer come staffed?
Yes. The clerical support unit arrives with full-time, knowledgeable staff. Evergreen does not just drop a trailer; we run it for the length of the camp.
How much can it print?
The unit is built to print thousands of Incident Action Plans and maps for a camp, with color and black-and-white printers, ADF scanners, and a 44 inch plotter.
What does the unit handle besides printing?
It runs back-of-camp administration: document scanning, an outdoor briefing stage with a wireless PA system, and on-site delivery of completed documents around the camp.
