• Identify each agency involved in incident
management activities to ensure appropriate
situational awareness and resources status
information is shared through multi-agency
coordination.
• Identify typical priorities established between
elements of the Multi-Agency Coordination
System.
• Define key terms related to the Multi-Agency
Coordination System.
• Describe the process of acquiring and allocating
resources required by incident management
personnel in relationship to the entire Multi-
Agency Coordination System.
• Identify typical future resource requirements for
the entire Multi-Agency Coordination System.
• Identify potential coordination and policy issues
arising from an incident relative to the entire
Multi-Agency Coordination System.
The primary functions of Multi-Agency Coordination
Systems addressed in the course are: to support incident
management policies and priorities; facilitate logistics
support and resource tracking; make informed resource
allocation decisions using incident management
priorities; coordinate incident managementrelated
information; and coordinate interagency
and intergovernmental issues regarding incident
management policies, priorities, and strategies.
There also is a group study version of this course by

national Incident management system
(nIms) public Information systems
(Is 702)
The public information systems described in
NIMS are designed to effectively manage public
information at an incident, regardless of the size
and complexity of the situation or the number of
entities involved in the response. The goal of this
159
course is to facilitate NIMS compliance by providing
participants with the basic information and tools
that they need to apply the NIMS public information
systems and protocols during incident management.
This course is designed for local and State public
information officers.

national Incident management system
(nIms) resource management (Is 703.a)
This interactive computer-based course provides
the principles, tools, processes, and systems used in
NIMS that incident managers need for timely and
effective resource management during an incident.
Primary tasks addressed in this course are:
• Establishing systems for describing, inventorying,
requesting, and tracking resources;
• Activating these systems prior to and during an
incident;
• Dispatching resources prior to and during an
incident; and
• Deactivating or recalling resources during or
after incidents.
The course shows that resources, including
personnel, teams, facilities, equipment, and
supplies, are managed through NIMS by advance
planning, resource identification and ordering,
categorizing resources, use of agreements,
acquisition management, management information
systems, and protocols for ordering, mobilization,
and dispatching.
This course will supersede G276, Resource Management.
For purposes of the APS, those who have completed
G276 may still claim credit for it as an elective, or IS
703.a will count toward that elective.
There also is a group study version of this course by
which it may be delivered in the classroom.
