About this title

Synopsis:

This book follows all NIMS ICS (National Incident Management System--Incident Command System) processes and principles. Beyond Initial Response was written to fill a significant gap in ICS training. Critical ICS position-specific training is difficult to get, yet responders have the responsibility to effectively operate in an ICS organization. This book removes the gap, instills confidence, knowledge and assurance that is required to be successful in an ICS command. Major focus areas: 1) the ICS Planning Process discussed in extensive detail, 2) ICS positions (13 critical positions thoroughly covered in depth), and 3) Unified Command: what it takes to be successful. This book is an invaluable reference tool that contains numerous job aids, checklists, illustrations and sample documents enabling the user to seamlessly work within the Incident Command System. In addition, it is an excellent support source for ICS training, contingency planning and response operations. Beyond Initial Response should be within arms length whether you are training or deploying.

From the Author:

Beyond Initial Response is intended to fill a critical Incident Command System (ICS) knowledge gap in responder's training. It is intended to fill a need between intermediate level training and position specific training which is often not available for agency and industry responders. The book covers the critical planning process, positions duties, and the requirements to succeed in a Unified Command. The tools in this book include job aids, checklists, best practices, and illustrations, and will help the reader perform ICS position-specific responsibilities such as Incident Commander or Safety Officer.
