Two integrated emergency management field courses
are available that can be used as stand-alone training or

The EMOC is an exercise-based program with

exercises. The flexible format of the EMOC allows
it to be conducted in a 2½ day or 3-day format.
The purpose of the EMOC is to improve operational
capabilities as they relate to managing emergencies
in the local community. The course places emphasis
on the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as a
focal point for managing a simulated emergency.
