The UGA 2008 NIMS Training Policy requires that all UGA personnel who routinely respond to campus emergencies or those who directly or indirectly make incident management decisions regarding building level or campus wide emergencies participate in NIMS training. The following campus personnel will receive NIMS training according to their appropriate training level as defined in the UGA NIMS Training Profile:
- Administrators at the department head level or above
- Building Safety and Security Representatives
- Emergency Response Team (Core Team and Support Team)
- Campus emergency responders (UGA Police, UGA HART, Fire Safety, etc.)
- All others not specifically identified who are tasked with building emergency planning, safety or security assignments
This policy includes UGA Athens campus personnel and Extended Campus personnel. The UGA NIMS Training Profile highlights the specific level of training that each identified UGA campus representative is required to achieve. The NIMS Training Profile may be found at http://www.osep.uga.edu/.
