FRPT2250 — Incident Command for Emergency Managers
This course expands on the Incident Command System (ICS) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the relationship between the two, and the history, features, concepts, principles, and organizational structure of both. This course will address how all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations (NGO), and the private sector work together seamlessly to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the effects of incidents. Students will explore topics such as emergency operations centers, continuity of operations, resource management, public alerting, weather emergencies, damage assessment, and debris removal. After successfully completing this course, students will have completed the required prerequisite training for the Minnesota Emergency Manager certifications through the Minnesota Department of Homeland Security.
