Detailed information about this program

This course meets the requirements of 29 CFR part 1910.120 by providing incident command training for those who manage and oversee emergency response incidents. This course provides participants with the background and development of Incident Command Systems (ICS). The Incident Command System is the standard for emergency management across the country and is designed to be interdisciplinary and organizationally flexible. The course also goes into the application of ICS and its role as a key feature of the National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS provides a consistent nationwide template to enable all government, private-sector, and nongovernmental organizations to work together during domestic incidents. This course is not only NIMS compliant but is designed to meet the mandate of Homeland Security Presidential Directive-5 (HSPD-5) directed by the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop and administer a National Incident Management System.
