ODP Announcement 21-043 addresses several frequently asked questions regarding the Incident Management Bulletin. With the March 1, 2021 release of the Incident Management (IM) Bulletin 00-21-02, the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has received multiple questions from stakeholders through email, conversations, dialogue during trainings, and phone calls. This FAQ was developed to answer some of the questions received. Please note: ODP expects stakeholders who have the responsibility of implementing IM processes to use this time to get familiar with the Incident Management Bulletin, as the effective date is approaching on Thursday, July 1, 2021.

Please visit the ODP web page that includes the IM Bulletin, information, and training. This FAQ does not contain all questions received; ODP chose questions that were asked frequently by multiple stakeholders. ODP expects to continue to receive questions based on the IM Bulletin; therefore, this document will be updated on a routine basis. Stakeholders will be notified when there are additions added to this FAQ.

For questions, please contact your ODP Regional Office or send them to ODP’s Incident Management Team.
