Starting out day-1 of the new 2019 version of ICS-400: Advanced ICS. Also me trying to be creative with a half holiday wreath of ICS participant guide books.
Yeah yeah, I won’t quit my day job.
We will pop a little Dean Martin this morning as participants roll in. While not the normal intro music, I figured we could all be a bit more festive.
As always, special shoutout to Fire Chief Gorsky and the crews from Darien Woodridge Fire Department on the warm hospitality.
Great to have this partnership with a progressive department who is always willing to host and serve countless communities across Illinois.
Unlike ICS-300, our Advanced ICS class has lots of group work and we are fortunate because in this class, we have a diverse group from hospitals and police….
…and Emergency Management, Health Department, Fire, Law Enforcement…
…private industry, and various county-wide agencies.
All here to learn and collaborate with others as we continue to build the skills of our most trusted partners from across Illinois.
This week, we are joined by Will County Emergency Management Agency’s Director Harold Damron.
The incredibly strong partnership between county Emergency Management Agencies is forged in the heat of the battle fighting the good fight every single day across this country.
Additionally, Director Damron has some diverse nuclear/radioactive challenges in his jurisdictions which help provide a different perspective on Emergency Management’s response to any disaster or perceived emergency.
Outstanding day. Looking forward to a full day tomorrow for the last day of ICS-400: Advanced ICS.
Where is @rusnivek?
