PARTICIPANTS NEEDED!

  The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is actively recruiting for participants to complete the E580, Emergency Management Framework for Tribal Governments course at the Emergency Management Institute (EMI) campus in Emmitsburg, MD.

FEMA training staff, in conjunction with representatives from tribal nations, developed this 4-day course to provide tribal representatives with information and strategies to develop or improve emergency management programs and systems within their tribal community.  The course promotes the integration of all aspects of emergency management from preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation, into the planning process.  The course will provide the knowledge and skills needed to improve the overall response to emergencies regardless of hazard, size, or complexity and improve the sustainability of their tribal community and better protect tribal citizens, lands, culture and sovereignty.

This course is being offered  March 19-22,  2012 at FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute in Emmitsburg, MD. 

All instruction, course materials, and housing are provided at no cost.  FEMA will also reimburse participants for a 21-day pre-purchased nonrefundable ticket for round-trip transportation by common carrier (economy, coach class, or less).  First class and business class airline tickets will not be reimbursed.  If participants choose to drive, they will be reimbursed the current federal privately owned vehicle mileage rate not to exceed the allowable airfare cost.  Participants must purchase an on-campus meal ticket for $100 that includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and morning/afternoon breaks for the week.  Free shuttle transportation is also provided from one of the three area airports to the campus and back.

To enroll in the course, simply complete FEMA Form 119-25-1, Admissions Application (available online at www.training.fema.gov, Emergency Management Institute) and fax it to EMI Admissions Office, 301-447-1658 on or before February 24, 2012.
