Describing the size, capability, and staffing qualifications of a specific resource
"Typing" a resource gives us a way to easily describe its size and capability. A resource's type is described by a single number. The lower the number, the greater the resource's capabilities will be. For instance, a type 1 helicopter is much larger and versatile than a type 3 helicopter. Typing resources allows ICS managers to not only order the best resource for the job, they are also able to easily track expenses. In addition, reducing the description of a resource to a single number helps to eliminate errors in the resources ordering process.
An ICS typing resource describes sizes, capabilities, and qualifications needed by staff for each resource. This system allows the manager to decide if the resource they are looking at is appropriate for the project at hand.

Single point ordering is when, during an incident or event, resources are ordered from only one point. For example, if there was a building collapse, all resource ordering may go through the jurisdiction's emergency operations center for fulfillment. Whereas, at a different incident such as a car accident, the police department may order resources from their police dispatcher and EMS and fire departments may order resources through their dispatchers. This is known an multi-point ordering.
