Training that is specifically tailored to agencies with fewer than 20 employees would be beneficial. In the event of a disaster a significant number of agencies and departments would be required to utilize their entire work force to fill the required NIMS positions, leaving no one to actually mitigate the disaster.
A large number of fire department or rural fire protection districts are comprised of a hand full of volunteers. It is typical to find law enforcement agencies with fewer than ten full time officers in the same communities.
