[W2CRA] FEMA (NIMS) Courses

[Bill Powell]

Courses required for ANY participation in declared disasters.

As I mentioned at the meeting, FEMA now required completion od minimal training in order to obtain "credentials" and participate (volunteer) in a declared disaster or emergency.
Courses "IS-100 Introduction to Incident Command System" and "IS-700 National Incident Management System (NIMS), An Introduction" are, currently, the only required courses.  Both may be taken online, for free.

FEMA Independent Study Program
Please use the IS Course List as your starting point for all NIMS courses. We have added different options for taking the courses which will help expedite your learning experience.
