Updates

Instructor-Led Delivery

The material available for download from the Instructor-Led Delivery page is updated to reflect the change from the 2016 Interagency Incident Business Management Handbook to the 2018 NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management, PMS 902.

Online Delivery

There is one course update that has been made to the 2014 version of S-260 online. It is now consistent with the 2016 Interagency Incident Business Management Handbook. That publication has been replaced by the 2018 NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management, PMS 902. Be aware that there may be some discrepancy between the new standards and this Online course. An update to the Online course is underway. A task group has been assigned to develop a long term solution to improving the relationship of S-260 to guiding publications, and the various target audiences.
