Preparedness Grants Manual inform policy and preparedness programs. If you have any questions or would like to request assistance through the NEP, please visit the NEP website or reach out to the NEP directly at NEP@fema.dhs.gov. The exercises and priorities outlined in the IPP and all EMPG Program-funded exercises must be included in the current fiscal year’s EMPG Program Work Plan. To avoid duplicate reporting, applicants/recipients are not required to report EMPG Program-funded personnel costs associated with exercises in the EMPG Program Work Plan. See the EMPG Program Work Plan template in the EMPG Program NOFO for additional guidance. 12.8.3. TRAINING Like the exercise guidance above, training activities should align to a current, multi-year IPP developed through an annual IPPW and build from training gaps identified in the THIRA/SPR and work plan development process. Further guidance concerning the IPP and the IPPW can be found at the HSEEP Resources page on Preparedness Toolkit. Through the NPD’s training and education enterprise, consisting of CDP, EMI, and NTED’s partnerships with the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium, Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium, Continuing Training Grants partners, and the Center for Homeland Defense and Security, FEMA develops and delivers training and education programs to increase capabilities, reduce risk, and build resilient communities. More than 700 tuition-free courses are offered to members of SLTT communities. By accessing the National Preparedness Course Catalog, users will find all courses to include EMI training and includes links to the basic, advanced, and executive emergency management academies. 12.8.4. FEMA’S NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS COURSE CATALOG Training should foster the development of a community-oriented approach to emergency management that emphasizes engagement at the community level, strengthens best practices, and provides a path toward building sustainable resilience, all of which is included in the curriculum of the EMI Basic Academy. The EMI Basic Academy provides a foundational education in emergency management as a way for emergency managers to begin or advance their career. The goal of the Basic Academy is to support the early careers of emergency managers through a training experience combining knowledge of all fundamental systems, concepts, and practices of cutting-edge emergency management. EMPG Program funds used for training should support the nationwide implementation of NIMS. The NIMS Training Program establishes a national curriculum for NIMS and provides information on NIMS courses. Recipients are encouraged to place emphasis on the core competencies as defined in the NIMS Training Program. NIMS is also included in the curriculum of the EMI Basic Academy. The NIMS Training Program can be found at NIMS Implementation and Training. All EMPG Program-funded personnel are expected to be trained emergency managers (see Section 12.2.3 “National Qualification System Implementation”). All EMPG Program-funded personnel must complete either the Independent Study courses identified in the Professional Development Series, or the National Emergency Management Basic Academy delivered either by EMI or at a sponsored SLTT, regional, or other designated location. Further information on the National Emergency Management Basic Academy and the Emergency Management Professional Program (EMPP) can be found at the EMPP page on EMI’s website. A complete list of Independent Study Program Courses may be found at the Independent Study page on EMI’s website. 105
