The Office of Emergency Management’s (OEM) website has been updated to incorporate essential training on the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS). This training, which is both a federal standard and best practice for incident management, will improve our University’s ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergency incidents. All UConn staff and faculty are encouraged to follow the links to FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute and take the online introductory courses. OEM is the central hub for tracking the University’s NIMS competency. If you are a faculty or staff member of the University of Connecticut, please forward your NIMS/ICS certificates to oem@uconn.edu.
Please visit our NIMS and ICS page for more information.
