Fundamentals of Incident Management (IS-100 & IS-200)

Course Description

The Incident Command System (ICS) is a comprehensive process for managing the resources and activities of emergency and pre-planned events. The system provides consistent terminology, organization, and operational guidelines for quickly processing information and mobilizing resources to deal with an event, no matter the type or size. Through lecture, interactive discussions, and table-top exercises, this course will address the history of ICS, the concepts of organizational management, and the individual duties required within the Incident Command System model. Also covered, are the procedures for setting up and managing the activities inside an Incident Command Post and interfacing with an Emergency Operations Center in support of simulated disasters. This course is based on the national standards (IS-100 & IS-200) developed by the Federal Action Management Agency and the National Wildfire Coordinating Group, and meets the standard for the OSHA HAZWOPER Incident Command competency level in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120(q)(6)(v).
