Description

Objective:

The course objective is to prepare experienced responders and other senior emergency management personnel who may perform in a management capacity for major or complex incidents (Type 1 or Type 2 incidents). Large and complex incidents that require the application of area command don't happen often. Although this is an advanced ICS course, it is not intended to develop mastery of area command. The purpose of this course is to expose students to the concepts of utilizing area command in major and complex incidents.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Given a scenario, develop an Area Command organization
  • Summarize the course objectives.
  • Identify the course scope, objectives, and classroom logistics
  • Given a scenario and review materials, apply key NIMS doctrine concepts (NIMS Management Characteristics, Unified Command, Incident Command System structure and functional area responsibilities, IAP Preparation and the Operational Period Planning Cycle, and incident complexity) to the management of a complex incident or event
  • Apply the appropriate structural option to manage a complex incident
  • Identify the complex incident management issues that can result from a lack of multiagency coordination

  • NIMS
