KISAR is planning an Incident Response Incident Commander (IRIC) course as our January training. The dates will be January 22nd and 29th. This is a basic search management course for those who are tasked with the initial management of a search.  The training will be set up as a virtual (Zoom) course and will most likely have participants from other places in Alaska besides Kodiak. The Bayside Fire Station Training Room will not be available due to COVID protocols.  This IRIC will require participating members to work independently at their own locations or team up with someone else who is taking the course. There are numerous prerequisite steps to participate including installing software, reading manuals, and watching instructional videos as outlined in the document Nick sent to members. These tasks take time, so participating members should allocate sufficient time prior to the course to accomplish what is expected.
