National Incident Management
System (NIMS) Required Training for WI ARES/RACES
Personnel Issued March 25, 2006
The table below is the training
required by the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Administration
(FEMA) for all personnel responding to emergencies
or disasters, including paid personnel and volunteers.
ARES/RACES members and leadership must complete
the appropriate training by December 31, 2006
This training is generally
free and easily achieved. It provides an overview
of the Incident Command System and National Incident
Management System, which all responders must use.
The following resources will help you and your organizations
be compliant with NIMS.
If you choose to have your EMC put on the basic
training, it can be done in a two-hour ARES/RACES
meetings.FEMA’s online courses are free and generally
well done. WEM courses are free, less mileage and meals,
if you have to travel.
Although this training is required, it can be fun
to achieve and will make us better emergency and
disaster communicators. If you have not used the ICS for public service
communications events, doing so will make them function
better and be more efficient.
So, make this a fun activity and approach it as
a learning opportunity!
