All Hazards Planning Section Chief (L 0962) : 32.00 Hours

Course Description

Before the 9/11 attacks, ICS training was exercised nearly
exclusively on fire-based incidents. Recognizing the applicability and sincere need for NIMS 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 Planning Section Chief (PSC) 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 PSC 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 PSC on a Type 3 AHIMT.

The intended audience(s) Federal, state, tribal, and/or local level emergency responders who may be designated as a Planning Section Chief (PSC) on their local or state IMT. 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.

NIMS ICS specific training should be completed by personnel who are regularly assigned to function on a Type III AHIMT or by those persons who desire to seek credentials/certification in those positions.
