EOTA Update

Welcome to the Emergency Operations Training Academy website. It has been a busy Winter/Spring and the rest of the year promises more of the same. Just to name a few of our accomplishments, we have recently supported all four of the FY07 scheduled iterations of the RAPTER courses, conducted two Exercise Builder courses, released three on-line courses, tuned-up and delivered the Senior Energy Official course, and facilitated a major Continuity of Operations table top exercise. Projects on the horizon include continued involvement in the RAPTER courses, updating of the Exercise Builder course, development of more Exercise and Continuity of Operations related projects, a return to the delivery of our Public Affairs Practicum, increased compatibility with the OLC2 training system, and of course continued development of online courses.

We will continue to provide all of the quality services you expect and will strive to improve our products and services for you, our customers. As always, please feel free to contact us directly with any questions, comments, or concerns you may have.

Thank you,
