I've received links to a couple of interesting pages from Karl that provide what appear to be some useful pages for those interest in utilising GIS in emergency management.

Geospatial Task Group (GTG) - This is a coordinated point of contact dedicated to providing high-quality information and expertise on the use of geospatial data, standard, applications, and processes in support of interagency wildland fire management.

Geographic Information Systems Specialist for Incident Management, S-341 GISS CD Reference - This CDROM contains instructional materials and reference materials for GIS Specialist for ICS training. All materials are in the public domain and may be freely copied, any errors are unintentional.

NWCG Geographic Information System (GIS) Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) - The NWCG Geographic Information System (GIS) Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) on Incidents Project (GSTOP) is responsible for clarifying the GIS business needs and functional standards for incidents. SOPs were developed for the work performed to fulfill the GIS needs of the Planning Sections of the Incident Management Teams. The project focuses on the GIS needs of wildland fire incident management, including wildland fire use. While the SOPs produced by this project may be useful for other types of events, such as all-risk incidents, the development of SOPs for these types of incidents is beyond the scope of this project.
