Course Overview

This class was developed for Incident Commanders (ICs) of emergencies that involve evacuation and/or Shelter-in-Place (SIP). The training objectives were adapted from competencies set forth by the Cuyahoga County Office of Emergency Management (CCOEM) and the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC).

ICs have unique responsibilities, because elected officials and citizens look to them for decision-making, guidance and oversight during emergencies.

ICs are familiar with the information presented to most of the other target groups in Cuyahoga County, but it is briefly reviewed at the outset of this class.
