FEMA to Host Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) Webinars. October - November 2020

 

FEMA to Host Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) Webinars Focusing on Implementing the Integrated Preparedness Plan (IPP) and Integrated Preparedness Planning Workshop (IPPW) Model

On February 5, 2020, FEMA released the revised 2020 HSEEP Doctrine.  The 2020 HSEEP doctrine continues to make HSEEP a practical and yet effective tool for exercise planners and practitioners across the whole community.

A component of the 2020 HEEP Doctrine was the reimagination of the Training and Exercise Planning Workshop (TEPW) and Training and Exercise Plan (TEP). The TEPW/TEP model did not support the integration of risk assessments, planning efforts, grant priorities, and other preparedness activities to drive exercise activities.

The Integrated Preparedness Plan (IPP) and Integrated Preparedness Planning Workshop (IPPW) model was developed to support the coordination, planning and scheduling of activities across the preparedness cycle.

The IPP/IPPW model has been piloted and refined.  FEMA will host a series of webinars to assist with the implementation of the IPP/IPPW model.  The current dates for these webinars are:

• October 29 at 4:00pm EDT
• November 2 at 9:00am EST
• November 5 at 7:00pm EST
• November 10 at 4:00pm EST
• November 13 at 9:00am EST
• November 16 at 1:00pm EST
• November 18 at 7:00pm EST
• November 20 at 1:00pm EST
• November 24 at 9:00am EST
• November 30 at 4:00pm EST
