Basic Incident Command System
Printed
materials for this course are no longer available through the online
enrollment process. You are welcome to participate in this course
interactively (online), or by downloading the course materials from
this page. You may still complete the final exam on-line to receive
your certificate. The final exams are either found within the last
unit of downloaded materials or in a separate downloadable file.
The
Incident Command System (ICS) is recognized as an effective system
for managing emergencies. Several States have adopted ICS as their
standard for emergency management, and others are considering adopting
ICS. As ICS gains wider use, there is a need to provide training
for those who are not first responders (i.e., law enforcement, fire,
or emergency medical services personnel) who may be called upon
to function in an ICS environment. This Basic Incident Command System
(ICS) Course will begin to meet that need. The course has been developed
as self-instruction but can also be delivered, with the use of an
instructor, in a classroom. The course includes a large number of
scenarios, examples, and opportunities for students to apply what
they have learned.
You can participate in this course two ways.
