• Relating emergency planning to National Incident Management System (NIMS) compliance and integration.
• Associating planning principles and concepts to the overall planning process.
• Identifying how the steps in the planning process can improve both deliberate and crisis action planning.
• Implementing the planning process model for future planning efforts.
• Determining which Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) format is best suited to their jurisdictions.

An online pre-test will be a prerequisite for this training. Successful applicants will be provided instructions on how to complete this requirement upon acceptance.
