Continuity of Operations Excellence Series, Level I – Professional Continuity Practitioner and Level II – Master Professional Continuity Practitioner,
Over
the past six years, National Continuity Programs (NCP) and the Emergency
Management Institute (EMI) have developed and fielded continuity training to
enhance the development and implementation of Federal and non-Federal
Continuity Programs. The Continuity of Operations Excellence Series,
Level I – Professional Continuity Practitioner and Level II – Master
Professional Continuity Practitioner, was established in coordination with EMI
in April 2008 to enhance the excellence in Continuity Training Programs.
Effective
1 October 2014, the following two courses will be required as part of Level I:
IS
248: Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) for the American Public
IS
545: Reconstitution Planning Workshop
IS
248: Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS):
The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System
(IPAWS) Program Management Office designed this course to provide the American
Public with an introduction to IPAWS. It identifies the key features and
benefits of IPAWS and the authorities responsible for sending alert and warning
messages. It also describes the actions you can take before and during an
emergency to protect yourself and your loved ones. As a continuity
program manager this can be a trigger to activate your continuity plan.
IS 545:
Reconstitution Planning Workshop:
This course is based on the guidance to the Federal
Executive Branch departments and agencies for developing Continuity of
Operations (COOP) Plans and Programs. The purpose of the Reconstitution
Planning Workshop is to assist Federal Department and Agency, State, local,
tribal, and territorial jurisdictions with the importance of developing
effective and comprehensive reconstitution planning.

the increase number of independent study courses available. NCP has
