ICS-200 provides training and resources for personnel who are likely to assume a supervisory position within the ICS.
NIMS provides commonality in preparedness and response efforts that allow diverse entities to readily integrate and, if necessary, establish unified command during an incident.
IS200, Basic Incident Command System for Initial Response, reviews the Incident Command System (ICS), provides the context for ICS within initial response, and supports higher level ICS training. This course provides training on, and resources for, personnel who are likely to assume a supervisory position within ICS.
As ICS was being established the contractors working with the FIRESCOPE technical team developed a filing system to keep track of ICS notes, documents, and guides.

The National Incident Management System (NIMS) guides all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations and the private sector to work together to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to and recover from incidents.
NIMS provides a framework for interoperability and compatibility by balancing flexibility and standardization. NIMS provides a flexible framework that facilitates government and private entities at all levels working together to manage domestic incidents.

Typically, these briefings are concise and do not include long discussions or complex decision-making. Rather, they allow incident managers and supervisors to communicate specific information and expectations for the upcoming work period and to answer questions.
In September 2010, FEMA updated the Incident Command System (ICS) Forms. These forms are intended for use as tools for the creation of the Incident Action Plans (IAPs) and for support and documentation of ICS activities, and for other incident management activities.
ICS organizational structure and procedures enable emergency response personnel to work safely together to take control of a critical incident. It can also assist organizations to effectively and efficiently manage the aftermath of a critical incident.
Course Title: FEMA IS-200.c: Basic Incident Command System for Initial Response
IS 200, Basic Incident command system (ICS) for Initial Response, is a standardized management tool to handle the interests of small- or large-scale emergency and non-emergency situations. It is a militant unit applied in domestic incidents to assure ordinance and control of Federal resources.
The course is National Incident Management System (NIMS) compliant. It meets the NIMS baseline training requirements for IS-200.
All ICS resources are ordered, received, assigned, and tracked systematically. Resources include personnel, tools, equipment and their operators, and expendable items (e.g., sandbags that are provided to homeowners to protect their properties, etc.).
In ICS, considerable emphasis is placed on developing effective Incident Action Plans. A planning process has been developed to assist Incident Managers in the systematic and orderly development of an Incident Action Plan. The determination of the need for written Incident Action Plans is based on the requirements of the incident and the judgment of the Incident Commander.
An Incident Radio Communications Plan (ICS Form 205) is a component of the written Incident Action Plan.
In ICS, an Incident Briefing Form is used to record initial actions and list assigned and available resources. For example, during initial actions, the outgoing IC would brief the incoming IC using the Initial Briefing Form, ICS Form 201, during the transition meeting. As incidents grow in complexity and/or size, ICS provides a format and a systematic process for the development of a written Incident Action Plan.
The ICS organization reflects the principle of management by objectives. Every incident has different requirements. The organizational structure should reflect only what is required to meet and support planned incident objectives.
The IC must develop incident objectives within a short timeframe after assuming command. After the incident objectives are clear, strategies and tasks to achieve the objectives can begin to be developed. Some objectives will change over the course of an incident. Some objecitves will be achieved and new objectives will be developed. Strategies will also change. The Incident Objectives are documented and displayed in ICS Form 202.
Resource status is maintained and changed by the supervisor who has the resources under assignment. On larger incidents, a Resources Unit, if established, will also maintain status on all resources assigned to the incident.
This is a web-based training course on the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS). The course is designed to provide training through an independent study vehicle on the use of ICS forms.
The participant will be able to describe the goals and objectives of the IS-201 course.
The Target Audience for this course are the emergency management and response personnel who may be called upon to function in a Command, General Staff, or Unit Leader position during a significant incident or event, and who may be called upon to help prepare some portion of the Incident Action Plan.
