ICS 400 Advanced ICS Command and General Staff - Complex Incidents
ICS 700 This course introduces NIMS and takes approximately three hours to complete. It explains the purpose, principles, key components and benefits of NIMS. The course also contains "Planning Activity" screens giving you an opportunity to complete some planning tasks during this course. The planning activity screens are printable so that you can use them after you complete the course. What will I be able to do when I finish this course? • Describe the key concepts and principles underlying NIMS. • Identify the benefits of using ICS as the national incident management model. • Describe when it is appropriate to institute an Area Command. • Describe when it is appropriate to institute a Multiagency Coordination System. • Describe the benefits of using a Joint Information System (JIS) for public information. • Identify the ways in which NIMS affects preparedness. • Describe how NIMS affects how resources are managed. • Describe the advantages of common communication and information management systems. • Explain how NIMS influences technology and technology systems. • Describe the purpose of the NIMS Integration Center
ICS 800 National Response Plan - This course introduces you to the NRP, including the concept of operations upon which the plan is built, roles and responsibilities of the key players, and the organizational structures used to manage these resources. The NRP provides a framework to ensure that we can all work together when our Nation is threatened. The course is designed for DHS and other Federal department/agency staff responsible for implementing the NRP, as well as State, local and private sector emergency management professionals. Purpose of the course is to introduce the NRP, so that students can: (A) describe the purpose of the NRP, (B) locate information within the NRP, (C) describe the roles and responsibilities of entities as specified in the NRP, (D) identify the organizational structure used for NRP coordination, (E) describe the field-level organizations and teams activated under the NRP, and (F) identify the incident management activities addressed by the NRP.
Technical Emergency Response Training The WMD Technical Emergency Response Training Course is a four-day training course providing an overview of the terrorist threat and potential targets and seminars in chemical, biological, radiological, and explosive hazards that may be used as WMD. Responders will also experience hands-on practical exercises utilizing the responder’s knowledge and skills in performing decontamination and triage procedures, using survey and monitoring equipment, and responding to an event with multiple devices. An ongoing scenario will tie all seminars and hands-on training together, providing the performance-defensive responder with the ability to identify all areas of response to a CBRNE event. This course further prepares responders for a CBRNE incident by providing them the opportunity to practice their knowledge and skills in the world’s only toxic chemical training facility dedicated solely to emergency responders – the Chemical, Ordnance, Biological, and Radiological Training Facility (COBRATF).
AWR 160 WMD Awareness This six-hour training program provides emergency responders with awareness-level instruction on recognition, avoidance, isolation and notification techniques in a weapons of mass destruction (WMD) environment. The course covers prevention and deterrence and chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) hazards. The course will be particularly beneficial to those who need an introduction to WMD training and those who need a refresher.
Exercise Design and Evaluation Course G120 and G130 This course is designed for emergency management exercise staff to acquire fundamental knowledge and skills necessary to develop, conduct, evaluate, and follow-up basic activities and exercises, including exercise orientations, drills, and tabletop exercises. The content addresses the fundamental requirements of an overall exercise program and its components. A special emphasis is placed on the evaluation process and the development of sound evaluation tools to assist evaluation staff. Participants are challenged to develop, conduct, and evaluate these activities during the conduct of the course through the use of proficiency demonstrations.
*The above courses are all POST Board certified courses.
Hospital Decontamination Course This program designed to give hospitals the basic training needed to deal with the repercussions of a weapons of mass destruction incident or large scale hazardous materials release involving mass casualties.
