Emergencies and disasters can strike at any time without warning. Public, private, volunteer, and tribal personnel need to be familiar with the systems used to manage these events at all levels of government, in order to mount a safe and effective response. Current training and operational requirements set forth under FEMA's National Incident Management System (NIMS) and California's Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) have been adopted and implemented by San Joaquin County in the Emergency Operations Plan.
Individual departments and agencies are responsible for maintaining current training records. These courses will be added to the Department Training Processors’ mandatory training reports to ensure compliance from all staff. Training requirements apply to all disaster service workers, including first-line supervisors, middle management, and Command and General Staff, as well as:
