EMI’s recently released, G402 Incident Command System (ICS) Overview for Executives/Senior Officials has generated a significant amount of interest. This 2-hour course has become one of the most requested (non-required) courses developed in some time. EMI typically limits distribution of G courses to the Regional Training Managers and State Training Officers and refers requests for the course to the STOs. The demand for this 2-hour course is such that we decided to place it on the EMI website as a downloadable file. This ensures the widest distribution without placing an undue burden on the STOs.
