NIMS Training Video Preview

Why Code Red DVD Training?

Under Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5, all public agencies must have NIMS in place as their emergency management system. It is an all-hazards approach that works in any emergency situation.

In many states, if NIMS is not in place and used, districts risk the loss of reimbursement funds during a declared State of Emergency.  The potential financial impact can be enormous.

Schools and districts need NIMS in order to effectively communicate with other public systems. Otherwise, schools are at risk for miscommunication and chaos. 

NIMS Training

The DVD video is in standard definition and runs under 34 minutes and can be easily shown during staff meetings. The video covers the four parts of the National Incident Management System: SEMS, Unified Command, EOC, and ICS.

Our introductory basic NIMS training was co-designed by public safety and educators with a focus on the school setting. It covers the roles and responsibilities of emergency management for administrators, teachers and classified within the NIMS structure as well as how schools fit into the bigger NIMS picture. Our training is in DVD format and includes handout masters. The DVD can be used for refresher training as well as new hire training.
