Incident Management Systems Division (IMSD), National Integration Center
NIMS Five-Year Training Plan Goal of NIMS Training
To establish a common national foundation to train the state/tribal/local (private sector and non-governmental) first responders and federal disaster workforce, so that responders, incident managers, and resource coordinators can work together effectively and efficiency during a disaster or emergency response.
NIMS Five-Year Training Plan Objectives
To serve as a single-source, regularly updated compilation all aspects of NIMS training;
To provide explicit guidance for all NIMS-related training courses, applicable to all levels of government, the private sector, and NGOs;
Provide sufficient guidance to allow other stakeholders to create long-term plans, objectives, and action items for their own training programs; and
To establish specific strategic objectives for the next five years, to guide the actions of the National Integration Center as it provides leadership of national NIMS training.
Topical Areas of the Plan
Who needs to know what? Who needs what training?
Core competencies
Position qualifications
NIMS compliance requirements
Course requirements
NIMS National Standard Curriculum TrainingDevelopment Guidance with be incorporated
into Five Year Plan
Topical Areas of the Plan (continued)
Course Development and Course Quality Course objectives tied to competencies
Current summary of NIMS training Impetus behind courses NIMS compliance requirements (drives personnel to take courses) Competency expectations (sets the content of the courses) Details about currently available courses Availability of courses and instructors
Desired state of NIMS training in October 2012 NIMS (ICS) positions defined Training necessary to meet the knowledge, skills, and abilities for each NIMS position Guidance to jurisdictions on how to determine who needs to take the training
Annual Objectives and Action Items to achieve the desired state of NIMS training in October 2012
NIMS Five-Year Training Plan:Refining and Extending Training Guidance
Expand NIMS training guidance to cover position-specific core competencies (current and future) Link training objectives and core competencies to positions in the National
Credentialing System
Recommend NIMS Compliance Requirements for Training, FY2008-12
Develop “Throughput” plans, to ensure adequate foundation of curricular guidance and qualified instructors Instructor qualifications
Train-the-Trainer
Training “minimums” – baseline hours, specified evaluation?
Equivalent training identified (as appropriate)
NIMS Five-Year Training Plan:Research Methodology
Background Research NIMS Upgrade & National Standard Curriculum Guidance
Summarize positions (current and anticipated) in National Credentialing System
Best/Existing Practices
Stakeholder Inputs Working group of fed, state, and local emergency management and
emergency response trainers and training administrators
Guidance for NIMS Compliance Requirements (FY08-12)
Reality check for training-program needs
Additional Analytic inputs? Data to guide who/how many must be trained
Possible Additional Analytic Inputs
IMT deployment analysis Identify and analyze data that describes frequency of deploying IMT’s of
various sizes
Analysis could yield geographic data on who/how many must be trained Translate deployment data into capability guidance based on operational
need (distribution/likelihood of mission demands for emergency response requiring IMT capability of various scales)
Bottom Line: Better define IMTs in relationship toNIMS and formalize training
NIMS National Standard Curriculum Training Development Guidance Current Sections:
Summary of NIMS Compliance Requirements
