1195 - Training Opportunity - E0948 SA_COP - FY 2016
Description:
Situational Awareness and Common Operating Picture (SA/COP) support the Communications and Information Management component of the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Individuals and organizations at all levels of response have a responsibility to both contribute to and use reliable information as a part of incident response efforts. Despite the importance of maintaining SA/COP for all types of incidents, there are very few resources available for individuals seeking to improve their understanding and capabilities in this area.

The SA/COP course is designed to improve skills, knowledge, and capabilities of individuals and organizations involved in domestic emergency preparedness, response, and recovery.

1196 - Training Opportunity - V-0027 - Virtual Tabletop Exercise Series (VTTX)
Exercise Description:
This Virtual Tabletop Exercises (VTTX) will focus on a long-term power outage (LTPO) taking place in your community, using historical weather events and recovery actions. The VTTX involves key personnel discussing simulated scenarios in an informal setting, and can be used to assess plans, policies, training, and procedures. This VTTX differs from other tabletop exercises in that it will be conducted using Video-Teleconference (VTC) technology (not web-based), and is intended to provide an opportunity for responders across the Nation to simultaneously participate in a hazard-specific facilitated discussion. Lead facilitation for the exercise will be coordinated by EMI, with local facilitation provided by the participating agency. This format will allow the common delivery of exercise materials, scenarios, modules, and discussion questions among those participating in the exercise.
