[MarinTeams] ICS On-Line Courses

[Bill Smith]

>From time to time, we publish URL links to ICS On-Line Training Courses.
IC-100, IC-200, IC-700 and IC-800 are recommended.  Each course takes about
three
hours to complete, at the end of which you are invited to take a short test
and qualify for a certificate.  The certificates are useful if you wish to
take local training programs, some of which require ICS certification as
prerequisites.

The courses are valuable,  particularly ICS-100.  The course material can be
used in organizing virtually any activity from weddings to changing a light
bulb.  Government emergency responders take these courses, and if you are
familiar with the subject material, you will be on the same playing field if
you need to contact a fireman or police officer in times of emergency.

Local courses are held from time to time, or you can take the courses
on-line.

Look first at: http://training.fema.gov/IS/NIMS.asp for a list of available
NIMS courses.   The links below will take you to the ICS 100 and IS 700
sites.  Links within each site will allow you to take the test, download the
manual or course summary sheets.  Please forward this information to others
as required.  Best Wishes
