EMSI Digital Job Aids

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 go far beyond simple descriptions—they provide actionable checklists, process flows, and best practices you need to perform your role effectively during a response.

Now available in a secure Digital Format, you can carry an entire library of command knowledge on your tablet, laptop, or smartphone without adding a single ounce to your pack.

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 other Command and General Staff members.
• Standardized Doctrine: Built on NIMS/ICS standards but enhanced with real-world "best practices" honed over decades of response.
