ICS Forms Review & ICS 300

This three-day course will begin with a morning session, ICS forms review course.

Learn about, complete and utilize most common Incident Command System (ICS) forms.  The course will prepare you to work with the ICS Forms used in the Incident Command Planning process to assist in developing an Incident Action Plan (IAP).

You will be introduced to the forms and will practice how to develop and write effective objectives to manage an expanding all-hazards incident.  Participants will learn and experience the benefits of using the forms responding to emergencies or managing planned events.

Following the forms review, students will continue with the ICS 300 portion of the course.

Building on the prerequisite ICS 100 and ICS 200 courses, this ICS 300 course focuses on the Incident Command System (ICS) for supervisors in expanding incidents. ICS 300 outlines how the NIMS Command and Coordination component supports the management of expanding incidents as well as describes the incident management processes as prescribed by ICS. This course has a threaded activity that will give students the opportunity to practice implementing the incident management process and creating an Incident Action Plan (IAP) for a simulated expanding incident.
