Course Description:
This course is part of the National Emergency Management Basic Academy (NEMBA) and an elective course for the FEMA Advanced Professional Series (APS) program.
This course introduces the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP), a capabilities and performance-based exercise program that provides a standardized policy, methodology, and language for designing, developing, conducting and evaluating all exercises. HSEEP also facilitates the creation of self-sustaining, capabilities-based exercise programs by providing tools and resources such as policy and guidance, training, technology and direct support.

The National Emergency Management Basic Academy is a gateway for individuals pursuing a career in emergency management. Similar to basic academies operated by the fire service and law enforcement communities, the National Emergency Management Basic Academy will provide a foundational education in emergency management.
The goal of the Basic Academy is to support the early careers of emergency managers through a training experience combining knowledge of all fundamental systems, concepts, and practices of cutting-edge emergency management. The Academy provides shared classrooms of adult learners and skillful instructors resulting in a solid foundation upon which to build further studies and sound decisions. The series consists of five courses:
L101: Foundations of Emergency Management (40 hours) 5 days
L102: Science of Disaster (approximately 24 hours) 3 days
L103: Planning: Emergency Operations (16 hours) 2 days
L146: Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) (16 hours) 2 days
**NOTE** (Only an EMI or DEMA class certificate dated after March 2013 will be accepted for the HSEEP requirement toward graduation)
L105: Public Information Basics (24 hours) 3 days

Target Audience:
First Responders, Emergency Management staff; Local, County, Tribal and State Government Units; Fire, Law Enforcement, EMS, and Hospital providers; School Staff and Administrators; Volunteer Agencies active in disaster or exercise.
