Description
ICS 400 is intended for an audience of
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.
