Communications Unit Leader (COML) Training
April 2-5th, 2024
Location: Salem, OR
In partnership with the Oregon Department of Emergency Management and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)'s Interoperable Communications Technical Assistance Program, the Oregon Statewide Interoperability Program is excited to announce we will be hosting an All-Hazards Communications Unit Leader Course in Salem, April 2-5th 2024.
The All-Hazards Communications Unit Leader (COML) course trains emergency responders to serve as communications unit leaders during all-hazards emergency operations. COML responsibilities include developing plans to effectively use incident communications equipment and facilities, managing distribution of communications equipment to incident personnel, and coordinating the installation and testing of communications equipment. Since 2008, CISA has conducted COML courses across the nation and trained more than 3,900 public safety responders in this course.
This course is designed for all Federal, State/Territory, tribal, regional, and local emergency response professionals and support personnel who have an emergency communications background. It is designed to familiarize them with the role and responsibilities of a COML under the National Incident Management System Incident Command System (NIMS ICS). CISA and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Emergency Management Institute have integrated the COML curriculum to jointly offer a standardized All-Hazards COML course. The course is presented with facilitated lecture, hands-on activities, and extensive interactive discussions. Instructors work through the discussions and activities to explain the processes used to achieve communication operability, interoperability, and how to incorporate additional communications solutions.
Detailed information about the course including pre-requisite requirements and how to register to attend is attached but may also be found on the State Interoperability Executive Council's website here<https://www-auth.oregon.gov/siec/Pages/Interoperability-Trainings.aspx>. There is no cost to attend the course.
All students must be registered for the course and submit proof of compliance with pre-requisite requirements per the attached instructions no later than March 8th. Students will be notified once their seat for the course is confirmed.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Thanks!
