Emergency Management Onboarding
Four steps to connect your EM organization to SHIELD/ATLAS — org selection, ICS role, ESF lane assignment, and live tool access. National Guard personnel conducting DSCA missions use the dual-hat path at the bottom of this page.
Stage 1

Stage 2
ICS Role

National Guard Dual-Hat Path (DSCA)
ARNG/ARNG personnel activated for DSCA missions hold two contexts simultaneously — your military unit binding and your EM assignment. Add your NG unit here to maintain both, then switch context between them without losing either binding.
