Type 3: All-Hazard IMT Training

An all-hazard (Type 3) IMT is a multi-agency/multi-jurisdiction team for extended incidents formed and managed at the state, regional, or metropolitan level.

It is a designated team of trained personnel from different departments, organizations, agencies, and jurisdictions within a state or Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) region, activated to support incident management at incidents that extend beyond one operational period.

All-hazard IMTs are deployed as a team of ten to 35 trained personnel to manage major and/or complex incidents requiring a significant number of local, regional, and state resources. They also manage incidents that extend into multiple operational periods and require written Incident Action Plans (IAP).

An all-hazard (Type 3) IMT may be utilized at incidents such as a tornado touchdown, earthquake, flood, or multi-day hostage/standoff situation. They are also utilized at planned mass-gathering type of events such as festivals, political rallies, state and national summits and conferences. An all-hazard IMT may initially manage larger, more complex incidents that are later transitioned to a Type 2 or Type 1 IMT.

This course focuses on the importance of developing and operating as a functional U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) Type 3 All-Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT). This course meets the needs of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the National Response Framework (NRF).

This course will assist individual responders to perform as viable team members by:

Demonstrating the goals of NIMS and NRF. Emphasizing the nature and purpose of a USFA Type 3 AHIMT so that others in the community and emergency services are more willing and able to assist within various components of their local USFA Type 3 AHIMT. Demonstrating the critical role that leadership and teamwork skills play in the success of a USFA Type 3 AHIMT.

Providing a basic framework for building and maintaining critical interpersonal communications and working together as a team member of a USFA Type 3 AHIMT.

Offering practical experience of on-scene operations through extensive exercises and simulations, as well as through post-course refresher training, by providing students with the opportunity to perform as members of a USFA Type 3 AHIMT during a mock incident management situation.
