York County Emergency Management Agency is excited to announce we will be hosting an overview of the Incident Management System and the National Response Framework, instructed by Scott Gagne.

This course is offered free of charge and lunch will be provided. In an effort to reduce paper use, course materials will be provided electronically, and students will need to bring their own device. 
 
The goal of this course is to enable students to have a basic understanding of NIMS concepts, principles, and components and to provide guidance for the whole community approach during emergency operations and recovery.

  • Describe activities and methods for managing resources.
  • Describe the NIMS Management Characteristics.
  • Identify and describe Incident Command System (ICS) organizational structures.
