A number of Lake County emergency response and relief personnel were in Round Lake two weeks ago for a federal class on disaster management developed since Sept. 11 and Hurricane Katrina.The proper name of the course is the unwieldy "Command & General Staff Functions in the Incident Command System" and it was held in the new Round Lake police and public works facility. It was taught by staff with the University of Illinois Fire Service Institute. The course is is designed for those officers who would function in a Command or General Staff position during a large, complex incident. Or those officers who are or would likely be part of a local or regional Incident Management Team during a major incident, whether single agency, multi-agency, or Unified Command. We had three people in the class.
