January 16 District 9 Intermediate HICS course
January 16, 2024 @ 9:00 am – 3:00 pm EST
This class is also available on December 14, 2023 and January 10, 2024.
This 1-day class is for hospital personnel that would assume Incident Command, Section Chief, or both positions during a disaster. The interactive portion will focus on:
- Setting priorities, objectives, tactics, and development of an Incident Action Plan (this includes presentation of process and group activity).
- Learn how to manage incidents involving mass decontamination, evacuation, and active threat emergencies.
In addition to the discussions and work groups, attendees will participate in a functional exercise based on a natural disaster with escalating events including medical surge, facility damages, resource needs focusing on 96-hour sustainability, and communication concerns (like with staff and media). There will be an opportunity during the exercise to work through the transfer of command process. After the exercise, the attendees will complete an After Action Report and finish with a discussion on demobilization and recovery planning.
Prerequisites for attendees: Each attendee from the hospital must have participated in a Basic Incident Command and Emergency Management class or have experience as a member of a Hospital Incident Management Team (HIMT) during actual events or full-scale exercises
