EM Training Opportunities in Prince William County - Register by September 12th

All courses are at the Prince William Government Complex

G290 – Public Information Officer

When: September 22-23, 2016 8:00am to 5:00pm

This two day course is designed for the new or less experienced Public Information Officer (PIO) and focuses on essential emergency PIO functions. The course will teach PIOs how to write a news release, conduct an on-camera interview and prepare awareness campaigns. The class is a prerequisite for the Advanced Public Information Course (E388) at the Emergency Management Institute. This is an elective for the Advanced Professional Series (APS) certification. Students MUST bring a laptop to class. Prerequisites: IS-29 Public Information Officer Awareness Training.

G0386 – Mass Fatalities Incident Response

When: September 20-21, 2016 8:00am to 4:00pm

This 16 hour course prepares local, state, and private industry response personnel to effectively manage any incident that results in more fatalities than can be handled using local resources alone. Recommended prerequisites are IS-230.d Fundamentals of Emergency Management and G191 ICS/EOC Interface.

G0393 – Mitigation for Emergency Managers

When: September 19-21, 2016 8:00am to 5:00pm

Participants are required to bring a copy of their community’s mitigation plan to class, if available. If the jurisdiction does not have a mitigation plan, or the plan is incomplete, the participant should bring the community’s hazard analysis or any other parts of the plan that may be completed. The course is designed to enable the non-technical emergency worker to acquire skills in the use of mitigation. It provides training in how to perform mitigation activities fundamental to reducing and eliminating long-term risk from hazards. It also addresses the important roles of the emergency program manager (or other local government representative) in mitigation: motivator, coordinator, and monitor in local implementation of the National Mitigation Strategy. This is a required course for the Advanced Professional Series (APS). Recommended prerequisite is IS-393.a Introduction to Hazard Mitigation. Registration: Participants should enroll in these sessions via the COVKC LMS. For Course Enrollment:

New LMS System Launches in October 2016

There is to be a major upgrade to the current Knowledge Center used by VDEM and other state agencies to manage training course enrollment. The new Virginia Learning Center (VLC) will have a fresh new look with much needed improvements to the ease of use provided for our training customers. The new Virginia Learning Center will go live in October 2016. Prior to launch of the new Virginia Learning Center, there will be a system shut-down period. This shut-down period is tentatively set for October 4-13, 2016. Data from the old system will be uploaded into the new system during this time. VDEM recommends that students enroll in desired courses already posted prior to October 1, 2016. During the shut-down period, course enrollment will require manual processing by VDEM training staff. We also recommend students print any needed certificates of completion prior to October 1 as well. Once the new Virginia Learning Center is on-line, VDEM will provide training on the new VLC for system users. Please share this notice with local emergency managers, your agency partners and staff. If you have questions or need to manually enroll in training, please contact the VDEM Help Desk at (804) 897-9995 (8am to 5pm, M-F) or by email at [email protected].

V400: Emergency Management Fall Forum

Registration for the Fall Forum is now open in the Knowledge Center. You may enroll for either the Blacksburg or Fredericksburg session. The Fall Forum program is scheduled for one full day and a half. Please note Knowledge Center will be unavailable from August 24 to 30 due to the update. After September 1 you may register for the Fall Forum via the New Knowledge Center interface.

The Virginia Emergency Management Fall Forum is a collaborative effort of the Virginia Department of Emergency Management and the Virginia Emergency Management Association (VEMA). Attendance at either the Emergency Management Fall Forum or the VEMA annual spring symposium is a requirement for those affiliated with jurisdictions receiving Emergency Management Performance Grant funding. Participants may attend one of the Fall Forum events as well as the annual spring symposium event.

A key feature of the Fall Forum includes the State Coordinator’s briefing with federal and state legislative updates. Also, current trends, challenges, and solutions in emergency management will be presented. The Fall Forum is an opportunity to meet new staff, connect with colleagues from across the Commonwealth, and provide input on upcoming initiatives and plans. Do not miss this opportunity to have your voice heard as we continue to strengthen the link between local and state emergency management.

Attendees requiring overnight accommodations should make arrangements directly with the designated hotel. If attendees choose to lodge at another hotel, reimbursement will be limited to the state lodging rate. When making reservations, tell the hotel staff you wish to reserve a room in the “EM Fall Forum Block." VDEM will reimburse the cost of lodging for each jurisdiction's director and coordinator of Emergency Management or their designated representatives if financial support is necessary. Authorized personnel traveling more than 70 miles to the Fall Forum site will be reimbursed for lodging. Attendees should use official vehicles for travel and attend the closest Forum as a one-day commute where possible.
