ICS Readiness
FEMA IS-100, 200, 700, and 800 study path
This course follows the FEMA EMI independent-study spine for incident command and national preparedness: IS-100 (ICS fundamentals), IS-200 (single resources and initial action incidents), IS-700 (NIMS), and IS-800 (National Response Framework).
Each chapter is a study unit with vocabulary, quick-fire questions, matching, sequences, flashcards, and a mixed review. Items cite U.S. Government training sources; they support study but do not replace FEMA course completion records.
Chapters 1 through 3 align with IS-100; 4 through 6 with IS-200; 7 through 9 with IS-700; 10 through 12 with IS-800. Chapter 13 integrates all four frameworks on scene.
