The first goal of this study is to develop effective ways how authorities or institutions concerned allocate Incident Facilities based upon three distinct Zones, Hot Zone, Warm Zone and Cold Zone, at the site regardless of the scale of accidents and disasters. The second goal of that is to propose from how large scale of accidents and disasters each one of the Incident Facilities should be established. In order to investigate the actual status of rescue activities and the usage of space at the emergency response, general fire fighting in Japan, JR Fukuchiyama Line derailment accident and September Eleven Terror Attacks(especially World Trade Center) are adopted as actual examples.
