EMSI Command and Command Staff Position Job Aids

Your "Pocket Brain" for Incident Command.

Don't guess on the fireline or in the EOC. EMSI Job Aids are the most robust, position-specific performance support tools available for the Incident Command System (ICS). Developed by industry-leading subject matter experts, these guides provide the actionable checklists, process flows, and best practices you need to perform your specific command role effectively.

This collection includes all standard Command and Command Staff positions. (Please select your specific position from the list above).

Why Choose an EMSI Job Aid?

• Actionable Checklists: Step-by-step "watch-outs" and to-do lists for every phase of the incident—from initial dispatch to demobilization.
• Defined Roles & Responsibilities: Clearly outlines what is expected of your position and who you report to.
• Process & Interaction Guides: Visual aids that show how your position fits into the Planning P and how you interact with the General Staff and other agency partners.
• Standardized Doctrine: Built on NIMS/ICS standards but enhanced with real-world "best practices" honed over decades of all-hazards response.

Field-Ready Durability: Our physical job aids are built to survive the conditions of an incident.

• Printed on high-quality, durable paper.
