Knight Division TacticalDoes KDT provide an All-Hazards Incident Management Team?
All-Hazards Incident Management Team (NIMS / FEMA)
Yes.
KDT provides All-Hazards Incident Management Teams organized to NIMS ICS and FEMA National Qualification System (NQS) position titles, for hurricanes, floods, oil spills, hazmat and security incidents, ordered as a full team or single positions.
Typical configuration
- Standard
- NIMS ICS with FEMA NQS position titles; compatible with USCG ICS for spills
- Core team
- Command staff and four section chiefs, plus unit leaders as needed
- Organization
- Single or unified command, with an Intelligence/Investigations function when required
- Planning
- Planning P cycle, IAP each operational period
- Integration
- Works alongside local EOCs, state emergency management and responsible parties
Not every incident is a wildfire. Hurricanes, floods, oil spills, hazardous materials releases, infrastructure failures and security events all run on the same National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command System (ICS), and FEMA's National Qualification System (NQS) sets the position titles and qualifications for those teams.
KDT's all-hazards team follows that structure: command staff, the four general staff sections and an Intelligence/Investigations function when the incident needs one. KDT staffs it with personnel qualified to the standard the jurisdiction requires and works within the requesting agency's ordering and credentialing process. It can run an incident on its own, support a local team, or slot into a unified command with a responsible party such as a pipeline operator or a utility.
Order the whole team or individual positions. Because KDT also provides the equipment, camps, sanitation, food and security, the same order can cover the people and the support they need.
