ICS 300/400
40 Hour Course
Summary Description
The Incident Management System (IMS) is an internationally-recognized model for planning, controlling, and coordination of single and multi-agency crisis management and emergency responders. IMS has been proven effective for managing a variety of situations, both everyday events and critical incidents including: school crisis management, dangerous goods (HAZMAT) incidents, natural disasters, fire, event pre-planning, facility emergencies and many others.

The course expands upon information covered in the ICS-100 and ICS-200 courses. The ICS 400 course provides training on and resources for personnel who require advanced application of the Incident Command System (ICS).
