G191 Incident Command System/Emergency Operations Center Interface

Description
The goal of this course is to enable the students to develop an
effective interface between the Incident Command/Unified
Command (IC/UC) and the Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
by applying National Incident Management system principles.
This course is designed to examine the role and function of the IC/
UC and the EOC in response and support of an incident. It
focuses on the coordination between the Incident Command
System (ICS) and the EOC. The course reviews ICS and EOC
responsibilities and functions through exercises and group
discussions.

Course Objectives:
• Explain the course structure and potential ICS/EOC interface
challenges.
• Explain key NIMS concepts, command and coordination
systems, and structures.
• Analyze given scenarios to determine commonalities and
potential interface issues between ICS and EOCs.
• Explain the respective roles and interconnectivity of the NIMS
command and coordination systems in coordination.
• Contrast the typical role and functions of the Incident Command
and the EOC during emergency operations.
• Analyze given scenarios to apply ICS/EOC interface concepts.
• Develop an ICS/EOC interface action plan for your community.
