L-580 Strategic Leader Program - San Diego County Megafires: An All-Hazards Interactive Case Study

Chief (retired) Kelly Zombro briefing L-580 participants at the San Diego Country Estates, California

Participants should be senior incident managers, senior leaders of emergency response agencies, public utilities and other critical infrastructure; leaders in the agency administrator role, elected officials and appointees who would likely be involved in setting the strategic direction of a large scale event.

Historical Firestorm events in the San Diego region have been on unprecedented, fast moving scales of complexity. The scope of the Political, Security, Economic, Social, Infrastructure and Information (PSESII) dimensions have presented huge challenges to incident and emergency managers.

The overall end state is a rich learning experience where participants return to their organizations with new experiences, knowledge and tools, better prepared for complex incidents of the future.

Specific objectives include:
  • The ability to apply critical thinking to planning at the strategic level beyond what ICS processes offer now.
  • The ability to respond, anticipate, plan and execute within the PSESII dimensions of the incident while setting conditions for operational and tactical success.
  • The ability to establish highly effective incident response structures using decentralized command and control models and intent based operations.
