This guide also provides information on each of the seventeen modules and a listing of reference documents. 3 CONTENTS Preface ……………………………………….…………………… ...………. 3 Contents …………………………………...……………………………...….. 4 Introduction ………………...…………………………………………………5 Curriculum Description ….................................................................................7 Instructor Guidelines ………………………………………………………….9 Appendix A – Syllabus Summary …………………………………………… 19 Appendix B – Sample Course Evaluation……………………………………..23 4 I. Introduction This Canadian version was developed after the need was identified by the National Training Working Group, (comprised of member agencies of the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre) for an incident management system that not only harmonized operations across Canada, but was consistent with US agencies. The primary modifications made to the Canadian Curriculum are in the areas of agency specific terminology, i.e. FAA to Transport Canada, use of metric measurement and in the site support elements to reflect Canadian usage of Emergency Operations Centres. The NTWG was: Scott Hamilton – Yukon Tom Mirus (vice-Chair) – Manitoba Dave Hahn – Northwest Territories Greg Vaughan – Ontario Steve Bachop – British Columbia Gaetan Lemaire (Chair) – Quebec Rob Thorburn – Alberta Keith Barr – New Brunswick (representing all Atlantic Provinces) Marty Ferguson – Saskatchewan Rick Kubian – Parks Canada Steve Taylor – Canadian Forest Service The Contract Consultant was: Dean Monterey EmergPro, a division of Global Emergency Management Solutions, Inc. Nanaimo, BC Canada The original US curriculum was developed by an interagency steering group and a contract consultant.
