In the coming months, the Office of Emergency Communications is offering several opportunities to take the All-Hazards Type III Communications Unit Leader (COML) training course (see below for upcoming dates). This course trains emergency responders on how to serve as radio communications unit leaders during all-hazards emergency operations. This training will significantly improve communications across the multiple disciplines and jurisdictions responding to an incident. This COML training will qualify emergency responders as lead radio communications coordinators if they possess the necessary prerequisites, including knowledge of local communications; communications systems; and local, regional, and state communications plans. COML responsibilities include developing plans for the effective use of incident communications equipment and facilities, managing the distribution of communications equipment to incident personnel, and coordinating the installation and testing of communications equipment.
