Lesson 3: ICS Features and Principles

Lesson 4: Incident Commander & Command Staff Functions

Training Weaknesses

  • Covers a specified time frame (operational period)
  • Chain of Command/ Unity of Command
  • Incident facilities
  • Incident command post - Incident Commander oversees all incident operations
  • Staging areas - personnel and equipment are gathered
  • Base camps - primary logistics and administrative functions are coordinated and administered
  • Integrated communications - radio frequency
  • Personal accountability - following directions

  • 5 Major management functions
  • Incident command
  • Sets the incident objectives, strategies, and priorities
  • Operations
  • Conducts operations to reach the incident objectives

Lesson 5: General Staff Functions

  • ICS is a standardized on-scene, all-hazard management approach
  • Procedures are used to manage personnel, facilities, equipment, and communications
  • Used during the entirety of an event
  • ICS has been tested in more than 30 years of emergency applications
  • ICS is used for:
  • Natural disasters
  • Break-ins or hostile situations
  • Hazardous materials accidents
  • Planned events
  • Defines the terminology and structure of the general staff during an emergency situation
  • Describes the functions of each group within the general staff
  • The Incident Command is broken into four sections: Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance/Administration

Lesson 1: Course Welcome

Lesson 6: Unified Command

  • ICS: Incident Command System
  • Introduction to ICS for Schools was created by the Emergency Management Institute

  • All act under one operations chief

Lesson 7: Putting It All Together

  • Assume accountability -abide by school policies
  • Mobilization and check in - must be assigned to a specific role
  • Initial briefing - assessment of situation, location of work area, safety procedures
  • Record keeping
  • Lengthy assignments - travel kit
  • Demobilization -once incident is resolved, complete all forms
  • Technical issues disrupted completion of the training- submissions were not recognized
  • A new window was opened each time an activity was completed - unnecessary and took tome to load
  • Information was repeated between lessons
  • Some activities do not check answers or give a score

  • Make sure to define terminology that a lay person may not know
  • Include a glossary if necessary
  • Check for technical bugs before making training available to the public
