What are the Minimum Training Requirements for my Department or Agency under the
State of Maine's NIMS Compliance Objectives for 2012?

The NIMS Training Program (released September 2011) supersedes the Five-Year NIMS Training Plan, originally released in February 2008.

The NIMS Training Program identifies a deliberate method to develop and maintain a complete NIMS core curriculum and, concurrently, to provide training guidance to stakeholders for developing their training plans. To meet this goal, the NIMS Training Program has the following three objectives:

1. Support NIMS education and training for all emergency management personnel.

2. Adapt the functional capabilities defined by NIMS into guidelines, courses, and a curriculum that help stakeholders to develop personnel training and credentialing plans that yield the desired capabilities. 

3. Define the minimum personnel qualifications required for service on complex multijurisdictional incidents nationwide.

NIMS CORE CURRICULUM

The NIMS Training Program identifies those courses critical to train personnel capable of implementing all functions of emergency management. This program revises the NIMS core curriculum to ensure it adequately trains emergency and incident response personnel to all concepts and principles of each NIMS component.

The following courses are designed to provide a ―baseline, as they introduce basic NIMS and ICS concepts and provide the foundation for higher-level Emergency Operations Center- (EOC), MACS-, and ICS-related training:

IS-700 NIMS, an Introduction: This course introduces the NIMS concept. NIMS provides a consistent nationwide template to enable all government, private sector, and nongovernmental organizations to work together during domestic incidents.

ICS-100 Introduction to the Incident Command System: This course introduces ICS and provides the foundation for higher level ICS training. It describes the history, features and principles, and organizational structure of the system. It also explains the relationship between ICS and NIMS.
