NIMS/ICS-300 Training Requirement:

The completion of ICS-300 and ICS-400 training was a NIMS implementation activity for FY07 for middle management and command and general staff. For more information about NIMS compliance, training guidelines and other NIMS-related information, visit the FEMA website. The regional Training and Exercise Subcommittee is committed to providing Incident Command System (ICS) training at no cost to local agencies through the use of Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) training funds. These funds are being used to provide this course to help prepare the region's first responders and assist local jurisdictions in meeting the required training guidelines.
