Policy, Procedure and Practice for External
Affairs–Field Internship Part 1 (L751)
This is a multipart course designed to provide the
knowledge and tools necessary to perform job
functions in FEMA External Affairs and Emergency
Support Function (ESF) #15 operations.
Field Internship Part 1 is a 1 week deployment to a
Joint Field Office (JFO), Recovery Office, Regional
Office, or FEMA Headquarters. This mentored
experience will provide participants with an objective-driven
overview of operations at the location.
The internship will provide a structured, consistent
field experience that would foster collaboration
among the components of External Affairs (EA) by
offering participants a comprehensive, first-hand
look at the full spectrum of EA operations at the
JFO and in the field. It is designed to follow, and
build upon, the first week of classroom instruction
as participants apply what was learned in E/L/B750,
Policy, Procedure, and Practice for External Affairs–Part 1, as
well as the skills and other experience they bring to
the job.
