Course Description

This 8-hour planning and management-level course is designed to provide rural and tribal first responders with the knowledge and skills to develop an emergency operations plan (EOP) for their local jurisdiction, tribe, or region. Participants are provided with knowledge on the planning process, the different types of emergency operations plan formats, and the components of each.
