IEMC: Planned Events (E922)
This course uses the IEMC format of lectures and
exercises to help a community successfully prepare
for a Planned Event. Planned Events are scheduled
non-emergency activities that may place a strain on
community resources and require special preparation
in order to assure the public is protected while
traveling to the events, attending these events, or
simply residing near the event’s location. Depending
on the size of the community, these events can
include county fairs, festivals, holiday celebrations,
conferences, or political, religious, and sporting
events. Events like these often place stress on normal
community/organization infrastructure that are
tantamount to an emergency, and may result in
significant negative consequences if another natural
or technological emergency should occur while
the Planned Event is in progress. Jurisdictions, both
large and small, across the Nation are involved in
scheduling and planning events that greatly impact
a community for several hours or days. All Planned
Events are enhanced by sufficient planning and organization
using the principles and concepts outlined
in the National Incident Management System
(NIMS).
Selection Criteria: This course is for State, local, and
Tribal officials, as well as others who are responsible
for security and safety of Planned Events within a
community (Event Planning Committee members,
