C. Documentation

1. General

Team Leaders may make team members responsible for main-taining a daily log of activities with which they are involved. This log should include a chronology of significant events (departures, arrivals, meetings attended, individuals contacted, work accomplished, etc.). The log should be turned in to supervisors on request. The log is then turned in to the Planning function, where it becomes a part of the disaster response documentation and may also be used in the development of situation reports.

2. Types of Documentation
