All Hazards Liaison Officer (L 0956)


All Hazards Liaison Officer (L 0956) : 16.00 Hours

Course Description

Before the 9/11 attacks, Incident Command System training was exercised nearly exclusively on fire-based incidents. Recognizing the applicability and sincere need for National Incident Management System principles across incident response disciplines, an “all-hazards” approach to training will be embraced in this course.
With an “all-hazards” approach, this course will focus on how a Liaison Officer (LOFR) needs to fundamentally possess the same core knowledge, skills, and abilities whether they are responding to a fire, an oil spill, a mass-casualty incident, or another incident. In other words, regardless of the hazard, discipline, or incident, the essential job of a Safety Officer is the same.


This course uses lecture, discussion, student participation, and activities to focus on understanding the behaviors, duties, responsibilities, and capabilities of an effective Liaison Officer (LOFR) on a Type 3 All Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT).
The intended audience(s) Federal, state, tribal, and/or local level emergency responders who may be designated as a Liaison Officer on their local or state Incident Management Team. The materials were developed with the assumption that audience members may have little or no actual experience as a member of an AHIMT.


The audience may include students from a variety of agencies and functional disciplines, including fire service, law enforcement, emergency management, public works departments, as well as public health organizations, medical emergency teams, and hospitals.
National Incident Management System (NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS) specific training should be completed by personnel who are regularly assigned to function on a Type 3 AHIMT or by those persons who desire to seek credentials/certification in those positions.
