  • DOI Incident Positions Qualification Guide (IPQG)

    The Department of the Interior (DOI) Incident Positions Qualification Guide (IPQG) establishes minimum standards for incident personnel and ensuring the ability of DOI to prevent, protect, mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from incidents that may occur. The IPQG is a crucial component of meeting requirements under the National Incident Management System (NIMS) while ensuring all DOI personnel responding to or managing incidents are qualified in the position assigned. The IPQG is designed to establish minimum education, training, skills, knowledge, experience, and physical fitness standards for incident positions. Standards may be augmented to meet specific needs of a DOI bureau or office.
