ICS-400 is intended for an audience of experienced responders and other senior emergency management personnel or those who may perform in a management capacity for major or complex incidents. Although this is an advanced ICS course and includes creation of Area Command, it is not intended to develop mastery of area command. This course aims to expose students to the concepts of utilizing area command in major and complex incidents.
Upon successful completion, you will be able to:
- Apply key NIMS doctrine concepts such as NIMS Management Characteristics, Unified Command, Incident Command System structure and functional area responsibilities as well as IAP Preparation and the Operational Period Planning Cycle, and incident complexity to the management of a complex incident or event.
- Apply the appropriate structural option to manage a complex incident.
- Given a scenario, develop a basic Area Command organization.
- Identify the complex incident management issues that can result from a lack of multiagency coordination.
