Army Emergency Management Program - Federation of American ...

(3) Functional area-specific training options. Specific functional areas with area-specific versions of IS–100B and
IS–200B may complete their respective version (healthcare/hospitals, law enforcement, and public works) of the
course. Examples currently include the following:
ICS–100B, for healthcare/hospitals (IS–100.HCb).
ICS–100B, for law enforcement (IS–100.LEb).
ICS–100B, for public works personnel (IS–100.PWb).
ICS–100A, for schools (IS–100.SCa).
Applying ICS to healthcare organizations (ICS–200.HCb).
ICS–402, incident command system summary for executives.
c. Installations. All installations shall continue NIMS Phase I implementation as directed by HQDA EXORD
693–05.
(1) Establish installation emergency management working group. Establish installation EMWG as detailed in
chapter 3.
(2) NIMS Phase I training requirement. All designated Category 1 and 5 personnel shall complete and maintain the
NIMS Phase I training requirement as shown in table 8–1.
(3) Category 2–4 personnel. All installations shall implement the Ready Army Community Preparedness Campaign
in accordance with the Ready Army EXORD.
8–5. National Incident Management System Phase II
a. Requirement. NIMS Phase II requires identification of all plans, policies, and procedures related to incident
management. In the case of the Army EM Program, this includes all documents that relate to any phase of EM on an
Army installation anywhere in the world, but does not apply to CS or contingency operations.
b. Identification process. NIMS Phase II applies to all EM plans as described by chapter 6. This requirement covers
installation EM plans, tenant EAPs, continuity plans (mission, headquarters, staff, business), operations plans, contingency
plans, operations orders, execute orders, directives, instructions, pamphlets, memorandum, field manuals, standard
operating procedures, field guides, checklists, electronic incident management systems (to include JPM–IPP fielded
Decision Support System), hazard-specific electronic or manual systems (such as chemical or biological response aid),
electronic mass warning and notification systems (such as notification lists, call groups, procedures, pre-scripted
messages), and all other plans, policies, and procedures. This includes all supporting plans identified in chapter 6, such
as the installation AT plan.
8–6. National Incident Management System Phase III
a. Requirement. NIMS Phase III requires updates to all plans, policies, and procedures identified in Phase II.
b. Update process. NIMS Phase III begins with the designation of an EM program coordinator and supporting
advisory committee and continues with the development of a community profile, completion of the first cycle of the
risk management process, and development and approval of the installation EM plan. The installation EM plan links to
all of the related plans, policies, and procedures and serves as the overarching coordinating document and common
reference point for all supporting updates. This is a long-term effort requiring a long-term strategy and continuing
management and maintenance of all associated plans, policies, and procedures. Completion of the installation EM Plan
is an IOC requirement.
c. End state. For this requirement, completion means that all identified plans, policies, and procedures have been
updated at least once based upon the initial installation EM plan and that a continual process has been established to
ensure that corrective actions and lessons learned are incorporated on no less than an annual basis. Revision of
supporting plans is a FOC requirement and completion shall be reported to the appropriate installation-owning
commands, which will track compliance and report to DAMO–ODP on an annual basis with full compliance due by 13
January 2014.
8–7. National Incident Management System Phase IV
a. Overview. NIMS Phase IV is an ongoing requirement to support and implement procedures in support of NIMS
implementation, to include additional training requirements. As with NIMS Phase I requirements, training must be
sustained throughout turnover and attrition at the individual and unit levels.
b. Training requirements. All echelons will implement and ensure compliance with NIMS. Per the NIMS 5–Year
Training Plan, NIMS Phase IV implementation calls for development of a National Training Program with core
competencies for common positions and an associated Personnel Qualification System. Identified courses are shown in
Table 8–2 with additional courses coming online once developed. All identified personnel shall complete and maintain
the NIMS Phase IV training requirements shown in table 8–3, which has been developed based upon the NIMS 5-year
training plan and updated based upon the FY 11–12 FEMA EMI schedule. Personnel alignment is shown in table 8–4.
Additional requirements will be reviewed by DAMO–ODP in coordination with TRADOC and implementation shall be
directed by message with appropriate target dates and implementing guidance, as necessary.
