November 1, 2016

2. INCIDENT QUALIFICATION SYSTEM
On November 19, 2008, The North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management (NCDEM) requested assistance from the State Emergency Response Team (SERT) in developing Type 2 and Type 3 state and regional All Hazard Incident Management Teams (AHIMTs).
Secretary Beatty started this as a request from the SERT Leader to meet NIMS requirements for ICS Credentialing.

3. Background
On January 16, 2009, Jim Prevette and Joe Wright, Co-Chairs of the SERT AHIMT Workgroup, presented a briefing to the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) on All Hazard Incident Management Teams.
The SERC adopted the SERT AHIMT Workgroup as a SERC Sub-Committee to establish Type 2 & 3 AHIMTs in North Carolina and credential responders in all Command and General Staff ICS positions.
SERC adopted the program we started as a SERT project.
