Do you have an emergency response team? Who is on it? Who should be on it? Gather your team and come learn from the very best who’ve been there and done this more times than they care to remember. This workshop will be taught by experts from Operators Without Borders who will introduce you and your team to the formal creation of an Incident Command Structure. An ‘incident' can be something as mundane as a water main break, OR run the gamut from a full blown natural disaster, such as a tornado or wild fire, to a dam break or major chemical spill that impacts your water and wastewater systems. Response requires the coordination of multiple agencies and may cross multiple governmental boundaries. Before the inevitable happens, regardless of the size of your community, this is your opportunity to learn how to get your &^%$ together. Bring your team and go home with a plan.
After this workshop, attendees will be able to:
1. Explain the ICS framework, including its key components, roles, and responsibilities, to effectively manage and coordinate emergency responses within their organization and community.
2. Identify the appropriate personnel for their emergency response team, ensuring that each member's skills and responsibilities align with the needs of various types of incidents.
3. Create or refinine their organization's emergency response plan, incorporating best practices for handling a range of scenarios from minor incidents to major disasters, and ensuring cross-agency coordination.
4. Apply their learning to register to sit for the ICS Level 100 exam.
