The course provides participants with an overview of The Salvation Army's mission and its role within disaster work. Participants will also be taught how to prepare and equip themselves for a disaster deployment.
Then on Saturday, April 17 there will be a class on the Incident Command System (ICS). It takes place from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and provides participants with a general orientation to The Salvation Army Incident Command System (ICS) and explains how it is used to command, control and coordinate disaster relief operations.
