Which form is used for the WUI placard?

• A. ICS Form 231
• B. ICS Form 201
• C. ICS Form 202
• D. ICS Form 215

Answer: (A)

In WUI structure defense, a placard at a property is meant to quickly convey critical, site-specific information to responders so they can protect the building effectively. The form designated for creating and labeling that placard is ICS Form 231. This form is used because it consolidates the key details responders need on hand at the site—what is defendable, what hazards exist, and any actions or plans in place—so crews can act with clarity and speed. Other ICS forms serve different roles in incident management. For example, the form used for the incident briefing is a different document, another form handles incident objectives, and yet another is the planning worksheet used for IAP development. Since those forms are designed for briefing, objectives, or planning rather than for a field placard at a structure, they aren’t used for the WUI placard.
