Witt O'Brien's conducted a virtual Annual Incident Management Team Tabletop Exercise (IMT TTX) on March 30, 2022, in Fort Lauderdale, FL. This challenging exercise tested the interaction, communication, and problem-solving between the Incident Commander, Federal and State On-Scene Coordinators, and Incident Management Team (IMT) members, including the USCG, State Agencies, OSROs, SMFFs, the vessel operator’s representative, and other stakeholders in the critical stages of a vessel casualty.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis in the US and globally, we have limited our regular one-day IMT TTX seminars to a few venues at this time but are hopeful to continue to hold more events next year.
We have once again developed an e-Learning course that covers the virtual IMT TTX carried out in Fort Lauderdale to allow each plan holder to participate in the seminar and satisfy their IMT TTX compliance for 2022.
The 2022 e-Learning course is now available and may be completed at any time before December 31, 2022. [Access e-Learning here: https://learning.wittobriens.com/]
