Restoring traffic flow during an incident is considered part of which phase?

Restoring traffic flow during an incident falls under the Response Phase. This phase focuses on the immediate actions taken to manage the incident effectively and minimize its impact on traffic. During the Response Phase, responders work to secure the scene, remove hazards, and clear the roadway to ensure that traffic can resume as quickly as possible.

The Preparation Phase typically involves planning and training in advance of any incidents, while the Termination Phase encompasses actions related to concluding the incident, such as returning equipment and reviewing the response after the incident has been resolved. The Documentation Phase involves recording details about the incident and the response for future analysis and improvement, rather than focusing on the activities of restoring traffic flow.
