Re: [californiadisasters] ICS

Being in the private sector, I'm seeing more companioes use the ICS. Problem is, most fo the people that are assigned to a companies ICS are drafted to the position with no experience or exposure to it. Much less try to remeber what their role (command, general staff) is since they only get together once a year to do a table top exercise.

Try an explain the ICS to a contract administrator that his position is Logistics and what that entails. The FEMA class is a waste for the comman businessman to comprehend and implament.

I'm looking for somewthing that that takes the ICS and explaiins it so the private sector layman can say "Ok, I get it.". Then be able to reveiw it a year later and remeber some of what was taught.

Depends on what you need it for. ICS is to for command, control and operations of an incident. It could be applied to private sector if you had something that needed such structure...

All ICS training is geared to gov't agencies. Is there anything out there that helps the Private sector adapt?
