Introduction to the Defense priorities and<br />
allocations system (Dpas) (Is 245)<br />
This course introduces the Defense Priorities and<br />
Allocations System (DPAS), a regulation to help<br />
ensure the priority per<strong>for</strong>mance of contracts and<br />

critical infrastructure protection and restoration.<br />
This course is designed <strong>for</strong> all FEMA personnel<br />
involved in DPAS actions, including program officials<br />
responsible <strong>for</strong> directing use of DPAS priority ratings,<br />
DPAS officers, senior management involved in DPAS<br />
decisions, and anyone interested in learning more<br />
about DPAS, such as contracting officers/specialists.<br />
