Backcountry Incident Management Course

This badge represents the successful completion of the Backcountry Incident Management Course. For those individuals wanting more experience managing an unexpected backcountry incident, i.e., a more meaningful experience, the Backcountry Incident Management School can provide that hands-on opportunity. As you learned while taking WFA, there are several important “roles” that are part of most every backcountry challenge. These roles consist of a First Aid Team, a Get Help Team (aka the Help Team), a Spend-the-Night Team (aka the Bivvy Team), and the Incident Manager. The Incident Manager (IM) will coordinate the actions and activities of the other three roles.
