FEMA L967 NIMS ICS All-Hazards Logistics Section Chief

Course Overview

This course provides local -and state-level emergency responders with a robust understanding of the duties, responsibilities, and capabilities of an effective Logistics Section Chief (LSC) on an All-Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT). These responsibilities fall into two categories: responding to the incident and effectively fulfilling the position responsibilities of a Logistics Section Chief on an AHIMT.

This course is an instructor-led training that supports learning through discussion, lecture, and active participation in multiple exercises that provides a realistic, scenario-driven approach to mastering the skills required of an LSC. Exercises/simulations, discussions, and a final exam enable participants to process and apply their new knowledge.

Note: This course meets the requirements for cascading response personnel under California’s spill management team (SMT) regulations (14 CCR § 830.1–830.11).

Overall Course Objective:

Upon completion of this course, students will demonstrate, through activities and a Final Exam, the duties, responsibilities, and capabilities of an effective Logistics Section Chief.
