Description
The Enhanced Incident Management/Unified Command for All
Hazards course focuses on incident management skills, staff responsibilities,
and the related situational awareness skills using a computer-driven training
simulation designed to create a challenging decision-making environment in an
expanding complex incident.
The course focuses on the processes used in an Incident
Command Post (ICP) and the key decision-making requirements within that
response node. Command and coordination, resource management, and
communications & information management are emphasized. Participants learn
from the cause and effects of incident decisions while performing in an ICP and
responding to a variety of simulated, notional exercises.
The course is delivered (resident) at the National Emergency
Response and Recovery Training Center/Emergency Operations Training Center
(NERRTC/EOTC) in College Station, Texas. The instructional team consists of
coaches and mentors experienced in emergency management and incident response.
The course uses a multi-disciplinary approach to accomplish the course
objectives. Each participant is integrated into a unified command structure
responding to a simulated incident. The course emphasizes the application of
contemporary incident management systems, best practices and procedures to the
unique requirements of responding to all-hazards incidents.
The incident management structure used in the course is
based on National Incident Management System (NIMS) doctrine and the Incident
Command System (ICS), and is certified by the Department of Homeland
Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) National Training and
Exercise Division (NTED).
