Get Out and Get Your Boots Dusty - Incident Management Teams

When large wildfires, floods, or other natural or man made disasters strike, Incident Management Teams, or IMTs, are often called in to help. Bringing order to chaos in challenging situations requires qualified people with skills of all kinds,. This video is designed to encourage anyone with such skills, and the willingness to make sacrifices, to join a management team.

One of THE most rewarding experiences I've ever had. And I only did an 8 day assignment!

Kudos, great overview of IMTs!

I wish there were additional ways to help in the IMT.

Southwest Area Incident Management Team recruitment and application information is generally posted on the Southwest Coordination Center website bit.ly/2vtUBcI each year, usually sometime around November. Check out your local Geographic Area Coordination Centers (GACC), gacc.nifc.gov/. Team application periods vary for each GACC.
