We haven't had the need to use local HAM's in our emergency response system. I wonder though, are they trained on the incident command system(ICS)?

In the US at least there is ARES/RACES, and many cities/areas have some kind of liaison, periodic net checkins or drills, lightweight training, etc., so that hams can work effectively with the local incident response.
