Course Description: This Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) course is designed to be delivered to personnel who are responsible for creating, reviewing, implementing and exercising emergency operations plans (EOPs). The target audience for this course is people who have traditional response or strategic experience, but minimal experience in emergency management planning. The three-day course is primarily interactive presentations coupled with numerous individual and group exercises.

The course should highlight the importance of comprehensive planning as well as the important relationships that need to be established during a response to emergencies involving institutions of higher education.

Course Goal: To provide Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) with knowledge and planning strategies to protect lives, property, and the environment by supporting operations more effectively within the context of comprehensive emergency management.

• An overview of emergency management
• Identifying hazards and using a risk assessment process
• Managing your Emergency Operations Center (EOC) using ICS (Incident Command System)
• Partnering with your internal and external community
• Developing and/or revising your Emergency Operations Plan
• Training and testing the plans
• Recovery considerations
