Are the ICS 300/400 courses required for health care? Who should take these courses? Where can they be found?

ICS 300/400 courses are not a requirement for health care under the “NIMS Implementation for Healthcare Organizations Guidance”.

While ICS 300/400 are not required courses for health care personnel, Emergency Managers and interested individuals may find the training of value.  Courses may be found from the links on this website under Training & Exercises.
