National Incident Management System NIMS and Incident Command System ICS Training

On March 1, 2004, The U. S. Department of Homeland Security announced approval of the National Incident Management System, NIMS, the nation's first standardized management approach that unifies federal, state, and local lines of government for managing incidents. NIMS establishes the Incident Command System, ICS, as the standard incident management organization.

We will come to your site and customize ICS and NIMS training to meet your needs. We have been instructing ICS classes for decades, and will continue to offer ICS and NIMS classes that contain the latest updates as approved by the Department of Homeland Security.
