Description:

This course is designed to enable students to develop Incident Command System (ICS)/Emergency Operations Center (EOC) interface implementation strategies or action plans for their communities. The course reviews the ICS and EOC models of emergency management operations, including coordination, communication, and chief executive decision making, and places ICS in the context of the evolving National Incident Management System (NIMS) and National Response Plan (NRP). It enhances the knowledge and skills needed for clarifying roles, responsibilities, and relationships prior to a disaster through small-group and large-group exercises. The course stresses that fi nal coordination and operation structures are a matter for local governments to resolve in the planning process and to interface with the state and federal government, not-for-profi t organizations, and the private sector.
