Brief Description: Communications Unit Leader Training Course

Full Description: This service offering is designed for all state/territory, tribal, regional, and local emergency response professionals and for support personnel with a communications background. It is designed to familiarize these professionals with the role and responsibilities of a COML under NIMS ICS and to provide hands-on exercises that reinforce the lecture materials. CISA and FEMA Emergency Management Institute (EMI) offer this course jointly as “L0969, NIMS ICS All-Hazards Communications Unit Leader Course” for in-person courses.

Under the NIMS ICS structure, a COML is the focal point within the Communications Unit. This course provides U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) approved and NIMS-compliant instruction to ensure that every state/territory has trained personnel capable of coordinating on-scene emergency communications during a multi-jurisdictional response or planned event. CISA instructors are approved by DHS and have had extensive experience as COMLs.

The course is presented with facilitated lectures, hands-on activities, and extensive interactive discussions. CISA instructors work through the discussions and activities to explain in detail the processes used to achieve communication operability, interoperability, and how to incorporate additional communications solutions.
