COURSE PREREQUISITES - None

COURSE DESCRIPTION - This course introduces students to the principles of the Incident Command System (ICS) associated with incident-related performance. Topics include leadership and management, delegation of authority and management by objectives, functional areas and positions, briefings, organizational flexibility, transitions and transfers.

The IS200 online course offered by the Emergency Management Institute and the Q463 online course offered by the National Fire Academy are not interchangeable with the NWCG I-200 course. The course hours are significantly reduced and NWCG feels the learning experience with the online versions do not meet the intent of I-200. The classroom version of IS200 will remain interchangeable with the NWCG I-200 course. This course was built on the same lesson objectives and content as the NWCG I-200 course.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

• Describe an Incident Command System (ICS) organization appropriate to the complexity of an incident or event.
• Use the ICS to manage an incident or event.
