ARIZONA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TRAINING (43)  |
| Training and Exercise Planning Workshop - MAADEM900 1.0 (Course Info) |
| Description |
Contact Hours: 16 |
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Grant Guidance requires that State or Urban Areas receiving grant funds conduct an annual Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (T&EPW). Each State or Urban Area has prepared a Homeland Security Strategy, identifying priorities with respect to its approach to prevention, protection, response, and recovery-improvement efforts. Participants should be familiar with each priority and its role in the State or Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy, prior to the T&EPW.
A T&EPW provides the opportunity to review the State and Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy, and develop or update the Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan. The focus of this workshop is on coordination of all training and exercise activities occurring throughout Pima County, including activities sponsored by Federal agencies and other local governments. Agencies must ensure that their training and exercise schedules are coordinated to prevent duplication of efforts, ensure resources are not overextended during training or exercises, and maximize the efficacy of training and exercise appropriations. Moreover, schedule collaboration can present opportunities for jurisdictions and agencies to fulfill multiple grant requirements with a single exercise or training.
This systematic, capabilities-based approach to planning reinforces the foundation of national preparedness and enhances consistency and cooperation throughout all levels of government.
TARGET AUDIENCE: Stakeholders throughout Pima County.
COST: All training and course materials are provided at no cost to eligible jurisdictions

This is a review of the consent standards that directly apply to Fire Service Training, specifically in the area of live fire training. Unfortunately, in some cases “fire training out of control” and has lead to serious injuries
and tragically, the deaths of several firefighters, instructors and officers. In order to survive, fire fighters must be able to think critically and clearly and solve problems quickly under extreme stress. This can be especially difficult in an actual fire. The overall goal of Live Fire training is to instill good habits in students through repeated exposure. The program will take a look at what a typical live fire training session looks like, according to the NFPA 1403. This class will include a very serious discussion for all fire instructors and fire officers on the good, the bad and the ugly issues, standards and latest facts related to LIVE FIRE TRAINING. |

1. An intensive, week long class in Project Management taught by an instructor certified by the Project Management Institute. Upon completion of the class, students take a comprehensive exam to measure project management aptitude.
2. A one-half day GITA class emphasizing State requirements in security, privacy, enterprise architecture, policies & standards, oversight and project investment justification.
