In NFPA 1584, who must make sure Rehab is established?

The person responsible for making sure Rehab is established is the Incident Commander. Rehab is a designated area for rest, hydration, recovery, and medical monitoring of responders during extended operations, and its creation is part of the IC’s overall command and incident action planning. The IC sets priorities, assigns roles, and allocates resources, so Rehab is established where and when it’s needed to protect responder health. Once Rehab is set up, the Rehab Officer can manage the day-to-day operations, coordinating medical monitoring, fluids, rest, and transport. The Medical Officer provides care within Rehab, but does not decide to establish it, and the Incident Safety Officer focuses on safety hazards and conditions rather than establishing Rehab.
