• This training will be ICS 100 and 200, given by a certified USCoast Guard ICS Trainer.
• The class will be eight hours, starting at 0900, ending at 1700 hours.

First priority will be for those MACs who have not yet taken a certified course in ICS 100/200; next priority will be for those ARES/RACES members who would like to become MACs and have not yet taken these courses; and then those who are interested but either have not yet decided to become MACs (classified here as "observers"), or have already taken a certified course in ICS 100/200, but would like to refresh their understanding of ICS (classified here as "MAC - already cert 100/200").

The class size is limited, but we will try to include as many as we can.

The last day for sign-up will be 2/5/07.
