FEMA Incident Command System

FEMA Incident Command System is now a required online course for all Ski Patroller.  Most Patrollers will complete the FEMA IS-100 course, “Introduction to Incident Command System,”  during their OEC Course or patroller candidacy.  Other patrollers will be required to add it one-time as a new 2019 requirement. 

National Ski Patrol members need to have operational knowledge of the Federal Emergency Management Agencies principles for unifying inter-operability with emergency providers and overlapping jurisdictional command structures.  The online FEMA IS-100 course serves that purpose. 

Every student participating in the FEMA Online Instructional offerings is required to set up a “Student Identification Account” and receive a student ID number before they can enter FEMA’s classroom:
