Participants will be able to work on a training need of their own choosing for most of the work assignments based on the needs assessment completed after the E602 course.

Selection Criteria:

The primary focus will be State Emergency Management Agencies and Officess. FEMA staff, State exercise training officers, and other key emergency management trainers also may participate.

Prerequisites:

Participants must complete E601 and E602 first. Participants also should possess an associate's degree from a regionally accredited college or university.
