The following educational outline was developed to combine a national perspective regarding emergency preparedness activities with specific information for developing a hospital-based emergency management program. It includes a summary of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) training courses provided by FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and the HICS Learning Modules featuring key information extracted from the HICS Guidebook. The intent is to improve preparedness and response capability through community integration and assist hospitals in implementing a compatible emergency management program within their own facility or healthcare system.

Before beginning the HICS Learning Modules, it is important for students to consider first completing the EMI Courses to gain a broad understanding of community preparedness. Course selection should be consistent with the student’s responder position(s) on the hospital incident management team as outlined in the hospital Emergency Operations Plan and NIMS compliance guidelines. The primary courses are listed below as Modules 1 through 4 and may be accessed through the EMI web site at www.training.fema.gov/EMIweb/.
