This course trains emergency response supervisors and managers in the skills necessary to effectively plan for and manage a WMD (CBRNE)/terrorism incident by applying the all-hazards command and management structures found in the National Incident Management System (NIMS)—specifically, the Incident Command System (ICS), Multi-Agency Coordination Systems, and Public Information Systems.
The IM/UC (MGT 313) course complies with the NIMS National Standard Curriculum Training Development Guidance, of October 2005, and has been deemed to be both “ICS-300 compliant and equivalent training” by the DHS Office of Grants and Training (G&T) in conjunction with the DHS NIMS Intergration Center (NIC).The course uses a multidiscipline, jurisdictional “teambuilding” approach to accomplish the learning objectives.The course consists of lectures, small group discussions and activities, multimedia scenarios, and a tabletop exercise.
Upon course completion, participants will possess a working knowledge of local, state, and federal agency roles and responsibilities and their integration into a unified command for managing terrorism and WMD (CBRNE) incidents, as well as other incidents of national significance.
This course is cost-free to participants.
