Intermediate ICS Course - PUTNAM County

[helicopper 1,050]

There will be an I-300 ICS Intermediate Course at the Putnam County Training and Operations Center beginning on February 2nd. It is a weekend based course and is over in just two weekends.

Announcement and Registration Information

We deal with more and more expanding incidents making this training invaluable! For those not familiar, this is not just a rehash of the basic class. It really focuses on planning for ongoing operations and development of more complex organizations. In addition to being required by NIMS, this is the prerequisite for specific position training (IC, Section Chief, Unit Leaders, etc.).

ICS INTERMEDIATE (I-300)

The complexity of incident management, coupled with the growing need for multi-agency and multi-functional involvement on incidents, has increased the need for a single standard incident management system that can be used by all emergency response disciplines. Institutionalizing the use of ICS is required by Homeland Security Presidential Directive #5.

Use of the Incident Command System by public safety and private sector organizations is the standard throughout the country. ICS is used in a variety of applications including:

Fires (structural and wildland)

Hazardous Materials Incidents

Law Enforcement Operations

Search and Rescue

Air, Ground and Water Accidents

Multi-Casualty Incidents

Natural Disasters; e.g., tornadoes

Planned Events, e.g., parades, concerts, etc.
