CIMS (Co-ordinated Incident Management System)
CIMS is a valuable incident management tool for those involved in managing emergency situations.
This high level training is directed at Emergency Service Responders who have direct responsibility for managing emergency response including Communication Centre Staff, Police Officers, Firefighters, Ambulance Officers, Government Agencies, District Health Boards, Hospital staff, Council EMO's and Workplace Response teams.
Training includes the New Zealand Co-ordinated Incident Management System, (CIMS) a system used by leading emergency services since 1998. CIMS training is highly recommended for those who through legislative responsibilities are deemed to be the Lead Agency in an emergency.
CIMS is now being used extensively across Government agencies and many Corporates as they develop 'Adaptive Management' and 'Resiliency' within their respective organisations.
Many Organisations are preparing themselves for possible incidents surrounding the Rugby World Cup. Train your staff in CIMS now!
We deliver courses to a wide range of clients including many Government Agencies involved in whole of Government exercises like Exercise Cruickshank. Our training covers the range of Incident Management roles up to and including Response Coordinators who provide strategic direction, support and coordination for Incident Management teams in complex or multiple incidents.
Incident Management Teams ensure that high level decisions are coordinated during an emergency and manage the threat to life, property and the environment during the response phase.
The 2009 outbreak of Swine Flu (H1N1) was an example where the CIMS system was used during the response phase over a prolonged period.
