D. TRAINING <br />EMPG-ARPA Training funds may be used for a range of emergency management -related training <br />activities to enhance the capabilities of local emergency management personnel through the <br />establishment, support, conduct, and attendance of training. Training activities should align to a current <br />IPP developed through an annual Integrated Preparedness Program Workshop (IPPW). Training should <br />foster the development of a community -oriented approach to emergency management that emphasizes <br />engagement at the community level, strengthens best practices, and provides a path toward building <br />sustainable resilience. <br />All EMPG-ARPA funded personnel are expected to be trained emergency managers. In addition to <br />training activities aligned to and addressed in the IPP, all EMPG-ARPA -funded personnel (including full - <br />and part-time state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) recipients and Sub -Recipients) shall complete the <br />following training requirements and record proof of completion: <br />(1) NIMS Training, Independent Study (IS) -100 (any version), IS -200 (any version), IS -700 (any <br />version), and IS -800 (any version) AND; <br />(2) Professional Development Series (PDS) OR the Emergency Management Professionals <br />Program (EMPP) Basic Academy listed in the chart below. <br />Professional Development <br />Series or Basic Academy <br />PDS <br />Basic Academy <br />Professional Development Series <br />Basic Academy Pre -requisites and <br />Courses <br />IS -120.a An Introduction to Exercises <br />IS -100 (any version) Introduction to the <br />Incident Command System <br />IS -230.d Fundamentals of Emergency <br />IS -700 (any version) National Incident <br />Management <br />Management System (NIMS)-An <br />Introduction <br />IS -235.b Emergency Planning <br />IS -800 (any version) National Response <br />OR <br />Framework, An Introduction <br />IS -240.b Leadership and Influence <br />IS -230.d Fundamentals of Emergency <br />Management <br />IS -241.b Decision Making and <br />E/L101 Foundations of Emergency <br />Problem Solving <br />Management <br />IS -242.b Effective Communication <br />E/L102 Science of Disasters <br />E/L103 Planning Emergency Operations <br />IS -244.b Developing and Managing <br />Volunteers <br />L-146 HEEP <br />E/L105 Public Information & Warning <br />Additional types of training or training related activities include, but are not limited to, the following: <br />• Developing/enhancing systems to monitor training programs <br />• Conducting all hazards emergency management training <br />• Attending Emergency Management Institute (EMI) training or delivering EMI train -the -trainer <br />courses <br />• Attending other FEMA -approved emergency management training <br />• State -approved, locally sponsored CERT training <br />• Mass evacuation training at local, state, and tribal levels <br />For training, the number of participants must be a minimum of 15 in order to justify the cost of holding a <br />course.
