Emergency Preparedness training - 4 courses IS-100, IS-200, IS-700 and IS-800:

Each course offers self-paced education with a post-test to verify knowledge. Before taking a course, please create a FEMA account: Click Here. Once you create a FEMA account, a FEMA SID# will be assigned. You will be prompted to enter your FEMA SID# when taking a post-test to confirm knowledge at the end of a course.

With preparedness planning, a key component is for staff members to understand the Incident Command System and the National Incident Management System. The courses below build upon knowledge from course to course.

These can be taken at your own pace, and the goal is for you to complete them all by 7/31/2024. Once completed, please provide a copy of the completion certificates to me.
