This is an *overview* of FEMA's ICS-200 course.

This course provides overview training of the Incident Command System (ICS) in initial response efforts after an incident or disaster. This course focuses on training and resources for personnel who are likely to assume a supervisory position within ICS.NOTE: This is a remote-access lecture that will be using the Zoom video-conferencing system. <h2></h2><h2>Intended Audience</h2>The intended audience(s) are response personnel at the field supervisory level who are involved with emergency planning, response, or recovery efforts.This lecture format is intended for busy professionals that may not have a lot of spare time at night and on the weekends, but are comfortable learning the material during an accelerated, 30-minute lecture (webinar) format. It can also be a good review if your last ICS-200 class was a few years ago. (You may also want to consider attending one of our ICS-100 Lunchtime Lectures if you need to review that material. We will *not* be reviewing any of the ICS-100 material in this lecture, but it *will* show up on FEMA&#x27;s ICS-200 tests.)For a full understanding of the material, we encourage you to take the *COMPLETE* , self-paced, online training .
