York County Emergency Management Agency is excited to announce we will be hosting ICS 400, Instructed by Scott Gagne, training and response coordinator for York County Emergency Management Agency. 

The goal of ICS 400 is to prepare experienced responders and other senior emergency management personnel who may perform in a management capacity for major or complex incidents (Type I or Type II incidents).  Large and complex incidents that require the application of area command don't happen often. Although this is an advanced ICS course, it is not intended to develop mastery of area command. The purpose of this course is to expose students to the concepts of utilizing area command in major and complex incidents.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

  • Apply key NIMS doctrine concepts (NIMS Management Characteristics, Unified Command, Incident Command System structure/ functional area responsibilities, IAP preparation, Operational Period Planning Cycle, and incident complexity) to the management of a complex incident or event. 
  • Apply the appropriate structural option to manage a complex incident. 
  • Develop an Area Command organization. 
  • Identify the complex incident management issues that can result from a lack of multiagency coordination. 

*The target audience for this course includes experienced senior emergency management personnel who may perform in a management capacity for major or complex incidents. 

Prerequisites: ICS-100, ICS-200, IS-700, IS-800, and ICS-300. 

Other Information: This course is offered free of charge and lunch will be provided. In an effort to reduce paper use, course materials will be provided electronically, and students will need to bring their own device.
