ICS-300 Offered at Guam Homeland Security/Office of Civil Defense

Guam Homeland Security and the Office of Civil Defense is hosting an Incident Command System course for several government agencies.

The Incident Command System, or ICS, is a standardized, on-scene, all-risk, incident management concept based on successful business practices.

ICS-300 is the third in a series of four Incident Command System courses. The course is designed for mid-level management personnel who will be serving in the following positions: command staff, section chiefs, strike team leaders, task force leaders, unit leaders, division/group supervisors, branch directors and multi-agency coordination system/emergency operations center staff.

"A poorly managed incident response can be devastating to the economy and, more importantly, to the health and safety of the public. This course is vital because it teaches us how to respond and mange an incident more effectively," says Administrator Chuck Ada.
