Always Training: Our Situation Unit Leader group recently met to discuss expanding virtual components, integrating various technology platforms, and creating a path for future training for the entire team to prepare for new and complex incidents. #sitl

We currently have two members deployed assisting jurisdictions within the Commonwealth, but the planning back home doesn’t stop! Our Training Committee (with most on the ☎) met this AM to discuss topics including: our strategic plan, training during “the new normal”, GIS and Office 365 training/deployment, Incident Qualification System updates, and our next exercise! #schmeltzstubble

Since February, our members have been working diligently in support of efforts to fight COVID-19 across Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. NCR IMT members have been actively engaged in Emergency Operations Centers, Incident Command Posts, and Departmental Operations Centers across the region. In addition, numerous team members have been tasked with planning to ensure the continuity of operations of public safety agencies in their home jurisdictions.

The team maintains two state of the art equipment caches to ensure that team members can respond to multiple locations at the same time while being prepared with the right equipment to operate independently with maximum efficiency. This logistics capability has allowed the team to fulfill three statewide mutual aid requests in addition to assisting the National Capital Region with requests for assistance for equipment that could not be fulfilled by the home jurisdiction.

Since its inception, the priority of the NCR IMT has always been to increase the preparedness level and response capability of the NCR. Due to a consistently high level of training and support from the NCR jurisdictions, as well as funding from the Urban Area Security Initiative/Virginia State Homeland Security Grant Program, the NCR IMT continues to fulfill its primary mission, while still assisting state governments whenever possible.

NCR IMT members are actively supporting the response to COVID-19 in our region and parts of the Commonwealth. Don’t forget to follow us on all your social accounts for updates!
