In just about every NIOSH investigation, you will see that communications is a repeated issue among both crews and command. In the simulation lab, knowing departmental communications procedures during incidents is stressed extensively. Understanding and practicing how to communicate between command and crews during an incident gives the personnel the ability to practice radio skills. Incidents have shown that one missed communication can change the lives of so many people! The ICSC and Mobile Lab will help you know your procedures and develop the required skills necessary for effective operations.
