Full Description: Course Dates & Times:
December 2-5, 2024
8 A.M. - 5 P.M. each day

Course length: 32 hours.

Course Description: With an “all-hazards” approach, this course will focus on how a Planning Section Chief (PSC) needs to fundamentally possess the same core knowledge, skills, and abilities whether they are responding to a fire, an oil spill, a mass-casualty incident, or another incident. Regardless of the hazard, discipline, or incident, the essential job of a PSC is the same.
This course uses lecture, discussion, student participation, and activities to focus on understanding the behaviors, duties, responsibilities, and capabilities of an effective PSC on an All-Hazards Incident Management Team. These responsibilities fall into two categories:
1) managing the planning cycle, and
2) tracking resources and incident status.
In break-out groups, students will use the Planning Section Chief Position Task Book to list common responsibilities, roles, and/or duties between their current position and that of a Planning Section Chief.

Target Audience:
Local, tribal, and state level emergency responders who may be designated as a Planning Section Chief (PSC) on their local or state IMT. Attendees may be from a variety of agencies and functional disciplines, including fire service, law enforcement, emergency management, public works departments, as well as public health organizations, medical emergency teams, and hospitals. National Incident Management System (NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS) position-specific training should be completed by personnel who are regularly assigned to function, support, or unit leader positions on Incident Management Teams (IMTs) or by those persons who desire to seek credentials/certification in those positions.
