Introduction

Incident management teams are responsible for managing all signing, including signs posted along any State, Federal, or local road open to the public. Specifically, incident commanders and agency administrators are responsible for the signs along public roads in accordance with the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways" (MUTCD). This manual is the national standard for signs and traffic control devices for roads. The MUTCD must be followed on all Federal, State, and local roads open to public travel (23 CFR 655, Subpart F).

MTDC published the "Incident Sign Installation Guide" (1251–2820P–MTDC) in 2012. The guide is designed to help incident managers use signs to promote traffic safety at incidents and to comply with State and Federal laws. Fire program managers, incident commanders, logistics chiefs, ground support unit leaders, and incident safety officers should have a copy of this guide and use it for incident management. Fire program managers should order a supply of the signs shown in this guide so they will be readily available for locally managed incidents.

This catalog was developed to help managers procure incident management signs. This catalog's sections correspond to the sections of the "Incident Sign Installation Guide."

Each section of this catalog includes an ordering sheet with the corresponding sign numbers. The sheet can be copied and faxed to the sign manufacturer or sign coordinator when ordering. Minimum sizes are listed. Larger sizes may be ordered as needed.
