The Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and the NIMS Integration Center (NIC) Announce Incident Command Systems Course for Executive and Senior Officials

FEMA's Emergency Management Institute (EMI) recently released, G402 Incident Command System (ICS) Overview for Executives/Senior Officials training. This training has generated a significant amount of interest. This 2-hour course has become one of the most requested (non-required) courses developed in some time. EMI typically limits distribution of G courses to the FEMA Regional Training Managers and State Emergency Management Training Officers (STOs) and refers requests for the course to the STOs. The demand for this 2-hour course is such that they decided to place it on the EMI website as a downloadable file. This ensures the widest distribution without placing an undue burden on the STOs.

Please understand these course materials are intended to be delivered in an instructor-led classroom training program. It is not a self-paced, self-study or computer based training course. Please read and print these instructions before you download the course. To keep track of how many people download this course you will be asked to provide your State and Zip Code below before you are taken to the materials.

Certificates: The training provider is responsible for certificates. EMI
does not offer certificates for G courses.

NIMS Compliance: This course is NIMS compliant, but is not a required
course. It does NOT replace any of the existing FY 2006 NIMS

EMI developed this and all of its new ICS courses collaboratively with the

Administration. If you have any questions about this course please contact
