Incident Command System Training Opportunities

Shipmates,
Once you've completed the Incident Command System (ICS) 100/200/700/800 series courses online at the FEMA site (see this post about these classes: http://www.flotilla76.org/2009/08/member-training-fema-incident.html) the next step is classroom training.

The online series serves as an overview of ICS and the National Incident Management System and equips you to operate as a member of a unit under the ICS system.

The next steps begin to prepare you for increasing responsibility in the ICS system.  All Coxswains, Pilots and Trident members must complete either ICS 210 or ICS 300 by 01APR2010 or their qualifications will be suspended.

Our Division Staff Officer for Member Training (SO-MT) Jon Polimeni distributed the following message today for those interested or required to pursue ICS classroom training:

Please pass on the following information to or members regarding ICS-210/300/400. Also, please remind your member is they have not yet completed ICS-210 or 300 and they are Coxswain, Pilot, or Trident they will go REYR on April 1, 2010. Also, if you have anyone training to be Coxswain, Pilot, or Trident they will need have completed this class in order to become qualified. I have also posted ICS 400 for anyone who wishes to extend their skills in the ICS program.
