Introduction
This lesson begins our three week examination of emergency preparedness and disaster management. This first lesson covers basic concepts of disaster management as well as the National Incident Management System and Incident Command System. The assignments for this lesson are different than other lessons in that you will do most of your work on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Emergency Preparedness Institute website. You will complete the online training courses for the National Incident Management System and Incident Command System resulting in your basic certification in these areas. This basic knowledge will improve your ability to understand how geospatial intelligence can support interagency disaster preparedness and response activities.
