Resources for Planning, Training, and Exercising (SHSP, UASI, and OPSG) Planning Assistance FEMA’s National Preparedness Directorate (NPD) offers technical assistance (TA) that is designed to provide recipients and subrecipients with specialized expertise to improve and enhance the continuing development of state and local emergency management across the five mission areas of the Goal and across all core capabilities. TA provides the opportunity to engage emergency managers, emergency planners, and appropriate decision-makers in open discussion of options to improve plans and planning considering their jurisdiction’s needs . Although there is no direct cost to approved jurisdictions for FEMA TA, jurisdictions are expected to invest staff resources and take ownership of the resulting products and tools. TA deliveries combine current emergency management best practices with practical consideration of emerging trends, through discussion facilitated by FEMA contract specialists and with the support of FEMA Region operational specialists. Additionally, peer-to-peer representation may also be included from other jurisdictions that have recently addressed the same planning issue. The TA request form can be accessed at https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/nims/implementation-training. Training Information Per IB 432,Review and Approval Requirements for Training Courses Funded Through Preparedness Grants, issued on July 19, 2018, states, territories, tribal entities, and high-risk urban areas are no longer required to request approval from FEMA for personnel to attend non-DHS FEMA training as long as the training is coordinated with and approved by the state, territory, tribal, or high-risk urban area Training Point of Contact (TPOC) and falls within the FEMA mission scope and the jurisdiction’s EOP . For additional information on review and approval requirements for training courses funded with preparedness grants, see FEMA Policy 207-22-0002, Prohibited or Controlled Equipment Under FEMA Awards. FEMA will conduct periodic reviews of all state, local, territory, tribal entities, and high-risk urban area training funded by FEMA. These reviews may include requests for all course materials and physical observation of, or participation in, the funded training. If these reviews determine that courses are outside the scope of this guidance, recipients will be asked to repay grant funds expended in support of those efforts. For further information on developing courses using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) and tools that can facilitate the process, SAAs and TPOCs are encouraged to review the National Training and Education Division Training Resource and Development Center website at FRT-TRDC Home (firstrespondertraining.gov). Some training and exercise activities require EHP Review, including exercises, drills or trainings that require any type of land, water, or vegetation disturbance or building of temporary structures or that are not located at facilities designed to conduct training and exercises.
