FEMA E/L 0958 Operations 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 Operations Section Chief (OSC) on an All-Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT). These responsibilities fall into two categories:
-
Responding to the incident and the command needs of the incident
-
Effectively fulfilling the position responsibilities of an OSC on an AHIMT
This course is an instructor-led training that supports learning through discussion, lecture, and active participation in multiple exercises that provide a realistic, scenario-driven approach to mastering the skills required of an OSC. Exercises, simulations, discussions, and a final exam enable participants to process and apply their new knowledge.
