NIMS Incident Command Training coming to Oak Forest
10/9/2009
SOUTH HOLLAND, IL – The Business & Career Institute of South Suburban College is offering NIMS Incident Command Training on October 21, 2009, at the University & College Center in Oak Forest.
ICS-100 training is an Introduction to the Incident Command System. It is required to ensure compliance with federal government requirements to receive emergency preparedness grant funds. All municipalities, public health agencies, schools, trustees, and other response professionals are encouraged to check if their agency is in compliance with the regulations and to attend this training.
The training is free of charge and is being offered through a collaborative partnership between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Cook County Urban Area Security Initiative, and NIPSTA. By offering the training locally, it is easier to ensure that new hires and others are compliant.
Additional trainings include ICS-200 which will be offered in November, and ICS-300 and 400 which will be offered in December. To register, please visit www.NIPSTA.org . For more information, call South Suburban College at 708-596-2000 x2556. The UCC is located at 16333 South Kilbourn Avenue, in Oak Forest, IL.
