    All members of the West Virginia Wing are encouraged to participate in these
training missions. Events unfolding daily in the lives of every American demand
that we, the members of Civil Air Patrol, be highly trained and skilled in
Emergency Service activities. The training scheduled in this time period will
afford each of us the opportunity to improve our ability to be of use to our
State and Nation in the event of a disaster.

To All Members Participating in Emergency Services in the West Virginia Wing: 

In order to receive FY 2006 and FY2007 preparedness funding, West Virginia must demonstrate that their receiving agencies are participating in National Incident Management System integration efforts. To comply, the West Virginia Wing is requiring that all members participating in Emergency Services complete the IS-700 NIMS course described below: 

FEMA Independent Study Program: IS-700 National Incident Management System (NIMS), An Introduction On February 28, 2003, President Bush issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive-5. HSPD-5 directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop and administer a National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS provides a consistent nationwide template to enable all government, private-sector, and nongovernmental organizations to work together during domestic incidents. This course introduces NIMS and takes approximately three hours to complete. It explains the purpose, principles, key components and benefits of NIMS. The course also contains "Planning Activity" screens giving you an opportunity to complete some planning tasks during this course. The planning activity screens are printable so that you can use them after you complete the course. The course is available at: http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/is700.asp You should choose Option #1 at the bottom. 

All Incident Commanders, Mission Staff personnel, Squadron Commanders, Emergency Services Officers and all other members participating in Emergency Services are asked to complete this on-line course. When you receive confirmation of successful completion, please forward that email confirmation to me. If you have any trouble navigating through the site or the course, please let me know and I will try to assist you. We are setting a target date of 1 July 2006 for everyone to have completed the course.
