Managing Field Operations: Introduction to Incident Command System

Emergency operations management at the scene is concerned with minute-to-minute tactical decision making and problem solving. It matches resource capabilities to priority needs. The basic foundation for effective on-scene management capability has got to be adequate communication and coordination with the community's emergency operations center and/or central dispatch center. In a disaster with multiple emergency sites, this is the only way that disaster priorities and resource demands can be met.

ERI utilizes the most up-to-date text materials, case studies and research documents. By combining the experience and knowledge of both the instructors and the course participants, a maximum positive learning environment is created. It is further enhanced by the use of practical problem-solving exercises.

This course provides participants with knowledge about emergency/disaster field operations that will enable an incident manager (commander) to direct the work efforts of others in a more coordinated and efficient manner.
