About the Conference:
The All-Hazard Incident Management Team Training and Education Conference (AHIMT-TEC) is a first of its kind, grass roots, national effort developed to provide policy and decision makers concise and detailed documentation of the issues, concerns, and support needs to continue the development and sustainment of the All-Hazard Incident Management Team Program. The agenda also focuses on providing attendees critical information on Lessons Learned and Best Practices developed by existing All-Hazard Incident Management Teams that could be beneficial to other AHIMT’s.

This is a unique and rare opportunity for the Incident Management community involved in the All-hazard Incident Management Team program including Team members, coordinators, and managers, to communicate to DHS personnel the needed support and priorities for NIMS products that support the AHIMT program.
