The Georgia Fire Academy announces three February courses for the NIMS program. These include IS 300: Intermediate ICS for Expanding Incidents, IS 400: Advanced ICS and the Command and General Staff for Local IMTs. Each course plays an important role of educating public safety personnel to assist local, state and federal agencies in their efforts to fulfill their designated roles in emergency management response. These courses provide a consistent, nationwide approach for federal, state and local governments to work together effectively to prepare for, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents regardless of size or complexity.
