This class covers ICS 100, ICS 200, NIMS 700, and SEMS Introduction. The class will be taught by Alexander Gordon, Senior Emergency Planning Coordinator, Santa Clara County OES. After completing this class, attendees will > be NIMS compliant with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and will receive a certificate from County OES. The class will be held in the Sheriff's Office Auditorium, 55 W. Younger, San Jose, CA, October 6, 2007, 0900-1200. As many of you know, the Department of Homeland Security has issued a requirement that all persons who belong to groups that are established to respond during emergencies must be trained in ICS (Incident Command System), and NIMS (National Incident Management System) procedures. I know that some MACs have already taken ICS 100, ICS 200, and IS 700. If you have already taken these classes, you do not need to attend this course. However, I think that many of you would benefit from attending this 3 hour class, since it will give you a better perspective of the way that ICS and NIMS are implemented at the Santa Clara County level. For all of you who are presently registered as Santa Clara County OES Disaster Service > Workers (all MACs, as well as those of you who are training to become MACs), I strongly urge you to take this course. It is also open to any ham who wishes to learn about the ICS and NIMS systems (this includes all city ARES/RACES members). I will require that all MACs receive ICS/NIMS training by the end of this calendar year. You can satisfy this requirement by attending a city-sponsored class on this subject, by taking on-line versions of these classes offered by FEMA, or by attending this Santa Clara County OES class. If you are interested in taking this course, please go to our web site at http://www.scc-ares.races.org, and follow the link under MAC Training Signup labeled ICS 100 &200, NIMS 700 and SEMS. If you are interested in this course, but cannot attend the class given on October 6, please indicate your choice of future classes, which include weekday afternoon, > weekday evening, and Saturday morning, by going to the website signup and following the instructions for alternative class dates. The schedule of future classes will be based on the responses received. Remember, I want to be sure that ALL our hams have taken this class, or have taken the ICS 100, ICS 200,and IS 700 classes before the end of December 2007. Questions? Email me or call me at 650-269-9638.
