The answer I have at this point is "no" it is not. A community would still receive <br /> disaster assistance if the City Council was not trained in all of the levels. <br /> Here is an interesting 2010 article that addresses the issue; <br /> http://www.westbranchtimes.com/article.php?id=6009 <br /> There are suggestions on what a City Council should have as far as training from the Feds; <br /> Q: Which courses are recommended for Elected and appointed officials? <br /> A: Elected and appointed officials should have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities for successful <br /> emergency management and incident response. To that end, it is vital that elected and appointed officials understand and <br /> receive NIMS training. Therefore, FEMA recommends the following training for senior elected and appointed officials. <br /> • G-402 Incident Command System (ICS) Overview for Executives/Senior Officials <br /> • G-191 Incident Command System/Emergency Operations Center Interface <br /> • Additional training based on jurisdiction risk and/or specific interest <br /> http://www.fe.ma.gov/emergency/nims/Nl MSTrainingCourses.shtm <br /> Hopefully this helps. <br /> Greg Haycs <br /> greghayes60La�me.com <br /> g_re )hayes60 a,earthlink.net <br /> 612.501.9914 <br /> i <br />
