All Hazards Finance/Administration Section Chief (L 0973)


All Hazards Finance/Administration Section Chief (L 0973) : 24.00 Hours

Course Description

Before the 9/11 attacks, Incident Command System (ICS) training was exercised nearly exclusively on fire-based incidents.  Recognizing the applicability and sincere need for National Incident Management System (NIMS) principles across incident response disciplines, an “all-hazards” approach to training will be embraced in this course. 

With an “all-hazards” approach, this course will focus on how a Finance/Administration Section Chief (FSC) 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. In other words, regardless of the hazard, discipline, or incident, the essential job of an FSC 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 FSC on a Type III All Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT).

The intended audience(s) are federal, state, tribal, and/or local level emergency responders who may be designated as a Finance/Administration on their local or state Incident Management Team (IMT). The materials were developed with the assumption that audience members may have little or no actual experience as a member of an AHIMT.

The audience may include students 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.

NIMS ICS specific training should be completed by personnel who are regularly required assigned to function under the Incident Command System (ICS), by personnel who may be called upon to function in a Command, Staff, or Unit Leader position on a Type III or IV AHIMT, or by those persons who desire to seek credentials/certification in those positions.
