Homeland security planning for local
governments (g408)
This course teaches participants to evaluate, revise,
or develop a homeland security appendix to their
jurisdiction’s existing Emergency Operations Plan

vulnerability analysis and command and control
for homeland security events. In keeping with
recommendations of the Gilmore Commission,
this course builds on existing emergency response
systems as articulated by the local EOP.
Participants must bring a current copy of their EOP and a
map of their jurisdiction to the training.
This course supplements EMI’s Emergency Planning
Workshop.

Teams that include one person from: emergency
management; public works; law enforcement; fire

communications Interoperability course
(g575)
The purpose of this course is to provide a process and
tools for jurisdictions to use in working together to
achieve communications interoperability. Based on
the SAFECOM model developed by the Department
of Homeland Security’s Office for Interoperability
and Compatibility, and the National Incident
Management System (NIMS), this course focuses
on cooperative planning in five main areas—
governance, technology, plans and procedures,
training and exercises, and usage—and on funding
improvements in those areas.
Selection Criteria: State and local emergency managers
and personnel involved in operating and maintaining
communications equipment and capabilities.
Course Length: 2 days
CEUs: 1.4
Emergency Operations center (EOc)
management and Operations (g775)
This course explores the role, design, and functions
of Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) and
their relationships as components of a multiagency
coordination system. The course contains disasterrelated
examples, activities, and case studies that
relate to EOCs and multiagency coordination systems
at the local, State, and Federal levels of government.
At the end of the course, participants should be
able to:
• Relate EOC operations to National Incident
Management System (NIMS) requirements.
• Describe the role that EOCs play in overall
multiagency coordination.
• Describe the relationship between the EOC and the
on-scene Incident Command System (ICS) structure.
• Identify staffing, information, systems, and
equipment needs at the EOC.
• Determine whether participants’ EOC organizations
are conducive to effective coordination.
