ICS ADVANCED (I-400)

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 & 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.
