Functions, role and training needs of the Incident Commander. (part 2)

Abstract

The paper deals with the role and the training program of the Incident Commander (I.C.), whose task is so deeply complex that needs an ad hoc training program organisation. An ideal training model is proposed, pointing out the peculiarities, specifying the subjects-matter, identifying the practical and the theoretical topics, the didactic modalities and tools to be used in the classroom lectures and in the practices, underlining the effectiveness of the scenario’s simulation, that must be realized as real and detailed as possible, using all the available resources. Training proposed is a lifelong learning pattern that means competences’ maintenance through a constant updating.
