Course # IEM 200

Course Title

Incident Command System (ICS) 200

Description

This is the Incident Command System Course for the first-line supervisor and above in the new FEMA NIMS-compliant curriculum. This meets the equivalent of the state requirement of ICS Intermediate (196) under the previous curriculum. Those who have previously taken ICS Intermediate as IEM-196 or IS-196 do not need to re-take this course.

NIMS Requirement: Who must take ICS-200 before the end of FY06?  All federal, state, territorial, tribal, private sector and non-governmental personnel at the following levels of responsibility in emergency management operations – first line supervisor, middle management and command and general staff. Responder and emergency operations personnel at these levels must take ICS-200 training in FY06 as a condition for the receipt of federal preparedness grants in 2007.

This course requirement can also be completed online through the FEMA independent study program through Emergency Management Institute (EMI) at:   http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/is100.asp

Course Objectives

• Leadership and Management: Describe chain of command and formal communication relationships, identify common leadership responsibilities, describe span of control and modular development and describe the use of position titles.
• Delegation of Authority and Management by Objectives: Describe scope of authority and the process by which authority is delegated. Management by objectives must be described and explained.
• Functional Areas and Positions: Identify the ICS tools to manage an incident, demonstrate the function of organizational positions within ICS and demonstrate the use of an ICS 201 form.
• Briefings: Give an Operational Briefing and describe components of field, staff and section briefings/meetings.
• Organizational Flexibility: Explain how the modular organization expands and contracts, complete a complexity analysis given a specific scenario, define the five types of incidents, and describe the importance of preparedness plans and agreements. • Transfer of Command: List the essential elements of information involved in transfer of command and describe a transfer of command process.
