Course Description

This course is designed to help prepare participants for deployment as a FEMA response partner to a domestic incident.  Responding to incidents requires that we must be ready, willing, and able to deploy at a moment's notice.  This course provides personnel with practical tips and advice for incident deployment.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Prepare for deployment, including detailing what information to gather, what steps to take, and what things to pack.
  • Check in when arriving at the assigned location.
  • Acclimate to the working and living conditions at the assigned incident facility.
  • Take care of themselves during deployment.
  • Maintain standards for accountability.
  • Complete the check-out process.
