Course Description

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

Course Objectives

• Describe how the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Command and Management component supports the management of expanding incidents.
• Describe the incident/event management process for supervisors and expanding incidents as prescribed by the Incident Command System (ICS).
• Implement the incident management process on a simulated Type 3 incident.
• Develop an Incident Action Plan for a simulated incident.

Audience: Emergency management or emergency response personnel that have the potential to utilize the Incident Command System for related incidents in their field.

Selection Criteria: Individuals who may assume a supervisory role in incidents. Note: During a Type 3 incident, some or all of the Command and General Staff positions may be activated, as well as Division/Group Supervisor and/or Unit Leader level positions. These incidents may extend into multiple operational periods.

**Prerequisites**: 4 online courses that must be completed before class begins:

• IS-100 https://training.fema.gov/is/courseoverview.aspx?code=IS-100.c
• IS-200 https://training.fema.gov/is/courseoverview.aspx?code=IS-200.c

• IS-800 https://training.fema.gov/is/courseoverview.aspx?code=IS-800.c

*As a part of this class, there is a companion course that will be added at the start of the ICS 300 class.  It will not extend the time of the ICS course but will be an added benefit for both the ICS 300 and ICS 400 courses:

INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM FORMS REVIEW MGT-347.  This 4-hour workshop provides a detailed introduction to the Incident Command System (ICS) forms used in the development of an Incident Action Plan (IAP). Participants will examine the primary forms used in an IAP, as well as supporting and other utility forms. In addition, participants will review the planning process to identify at what point the forms should be filled out and by whom. The workshop includes a practical application to instruct participants in the development of Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Realistic, and Time-based (SMART) control and management objectives. A certificate of completion for this course, will be issued along with the ICS 300 certificate of completion.

To receive credit for training you must be present for the entire course. 

**SD Office of Emergency Management is providing this training at no charge to participants.**
