master Exercise practitioner
program (mEpp) curriculum
The Emergency Management Institute (EMI) created
the Master Exercise Practitioner Program (MEPP) in
1999 as a non-resident program to recognize those
individuals who have completed prescribed training
and demonstrated, through hands-on application, a
high degree of professionalism and capability in the
arena of emergency management exercises. In 2004,
EMI began offering this title certificate program in a
resident series of courses at the National Emergency
Training Center (NETC) in Emmitsburg, Maryland,
to meet the needs of the emergency management
exercise community.
As of April 15, 2010, more than 1,300 individuals
have completed EMI’s Master Exercise Practitioner
Program and are empowered to place MEP after their
names in recognition of this accomplishment.
The MEPP mission is to improve the capabilities
of emergency management exercise personnel
in exercise program management and in every
phase of the overall exercise process. Through the
improvement of the knowledge, skills, and abilities,
both the quantity and quality of exercises conducted
at the local, Tribal, State, and Federal levels of
government can be improved.
