The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is seeking applications for funding under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 for Incident Command System for Corrections (ICSC): Preparing for and Responding to Emergencies.
Donor Name: National Institute of Corrections (NIC)
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 03/21/2023
Size of the Grant: $175,000.00
Grant Duration: 12 months
Details:
This program will be used to further advance, enhance, and expand NIC’s ICSC, emergency preparedness, and emergency response efforts for federal, state, county, local, and indigenous correctional agencies. ICSC addresses critical correctional issues related to incident command and emergency response and creates a pathway that ensures that a correctional agency is prepared to transition from an institutional emergency response to a multi-agency response as an incident moves beyond the secure perimeters of an institution.
Goals
The goal of this program is to begin modernization of NIC’s ICSC curriculum. A modernized ICSC curriculum will aid NIC in its efforts to educate and train federal, state, county, local, and indigenous correctional facilities in the time-proven applications of ICSC, which are part of an institution’s emergency preparedness and emergency response efforts.
Objectives
Providing participants with publications and an interactive VILT training experience that has practical application to their current and future professional development in the following areas:
- Tools to aid in preparing for and responding to emergencies
- Consistent application of ICSC
- Updated guides and tools for use by facilities
