These two courses were jointly developed by FEMA’s U.S. Fire Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG). These new courses integrate the NIMS guidelines and meet the NIMS Baseline Training requirements. Q-462 and Q-463 are the first in a series of Incident Command System courses developed in web-based and blended learning format to meet all-hazards, all-agency NIMS ICS requirements for operational personnel. Now available are:

Q-462 – Introduction to All-Hazards NIMS ICS for Operational First Responders. This course is web-based, self-study, interactive and equivalent to NWCG I-100 (Based on standard learning objectives).

Q-463 – Basic All-Hazards NIMS ICS for Operational First Responders. This course is web-based, self-study, interactive and equivalent to NWCG I-200 (Based on standard learning objectives).
