Introduction to Incident Management and CIMS – including NZQA CIMS 3 assessment
The Coordinated Incident Management System (CIMS) is New Zealand’s incident management system. There is an expectation, from government, that all emergency response and government agencies will use CIMS when dealing with incidents. With the introduction of the 3rd edition there is a further expectation that CIMS training will be standardised and all government agencies will implement CIMS as per the doctrine.
Most CIMS courses are aimed at the incident level response. Participants of these courses learn a lot about how the police, fire and ambulance use CIMS “on the scene”. We offer this version of CIMS.
Our “all-of–government” courses are different. We understand that most of the people involved in response, from government agencies are involved in local EOC, or Coordination Centre (ECC, NCC or NCMC) responses. Our participants walk away from our one day, introductory course with an understanding of what Incident Management is, why CIMS is the NZ Incident Management system, and how it is applied at all levels of response.
Emergency Preparedness Services (EPS) had delivered CIMS training for the Department of Conservation, Ministry of Business and Innovation, the Ministry of Primary Industries, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. We’ve also taught staff from many other agencies including CDEM groups, NZ Police, FENZ, St John, Ministry of Justice, Department of Corrections and NZ Transport Agency, through our online, All-of-Government courses or as a tutor for polytechs..
Emergency Preparedness Services is an Emergency Management Consultancy established by Dave Greenberg.
Dave spent over two years, beginning in April 2020, working for the Ministry of Health in a variety of roles including Response Manager for the Covid-19 Response Team, Controller and Response Manager for the Waikato DHB Cyber attack, CIMS trainer and member of the Emergency Management Team.
Prior to that Dave spent 25-years, taking part in nearly 4000 missions, as a crewman on the Wellington-based Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
After leaving the leaving the rescue helicopter Dave taught CIMS to hundreds of people, from the emergency services, search and rescue sector and local and central government. He has also developed and facilitated multi-agency, mass rescue exercises, throughout New Zealand.
