ICS: Rightsizing for Each Event

The Firefighters Support Foundation‘s (FSF) newest training program is now available. ICS: Rightsizing for each Event addresses the misconceptions surrounding the Incident Command System (ICS): it’s too big, too complicated, too cumbersome, unnecessary, and so on. The program demonstrates the practicality, advantages, and necessity of ICS at almost every scene and event, from the smallest to the largest. It shows how ICS can scale to any size, and demonstrates the benefits to all responding personnel of so doing. The program consists of a 40-minute video presentation and an accompanying 34-slide PowerPoint. The presenter is August Vernon, the well-known emergency management trainer.

The program is free to all members of public safety and  emergency management agencies.
