Emmitsburg, MD — You
are subscribed to EMI News for FEMA. The following information has recently
been updated, and is now available on http://training.fema.gov/EMI/
Program Description: The
Master Exercise Practitioner Program is a series of two classroom courses
(E0132 and E0133) focusing on advanced program management, exercise design
and evaluation practices in each phase of the Homeland Security Exercise and
Evaluation Program (HSEEP). A MEPP Capstone exercise project is
required within one (1) year after the completion of E0133.
MEPP candidates work within a
collaborative environment on exercise design challenges and establish a
network of peers. Candidates are assigned to an Exercise Planning Team
where they are to demonstrate their expertise at all levels of exercise
design and conduct through in-class teach backs and the individual MEPP
Capstone Project.
MEPP is designed for mid-level
exercise practitioners with a minimum of three
(3) years’ experience in an
Emergency Management (EM) exercise design. Participants refine and
practice skills critical to performing the phases of the HSEEP cycle, such as
exercise program management, Master Scenario Events List (MSEL) writing and
evaluation data analysis.
Candidates apply the key
learning concepts from the MEPP curriculum relative to their organizations
and their own jurisdictional environments.

Homeland Security and FEMA’s goals by improving the competencies of the U.S.

2017. FEMA EMI Master Exercise Prac Program (MEPP) Courses
Tuesday, August 15, 2017
Webinar: September 6, 2017. Health Information Systems Strengthening Resource Center
Health Information Systems Strengthening Resource Center: Centralizing Evidence
Join MEASURE Evaluation for a one-hour webinar on the Health Information Systems Strengthening Resource Center. The webinar will take place September 6 at 10am EDT and will be led by MEASURE Evaluation’s Heidi Reynolds, Shannon Salentine, Eva Silvestre, and Liz Millar.
Health information systems (HIS) strengthening is an ongoing and continuous process. MEASURE Evaluation’s Health Information Systems Strengthening Resource Center has been developed to serve as a central hub for the exploration of what works to strengthen HIS, a repository for evidence about how strengthened HIS improves health outcomes, and a learning space for health professionals to share and exchange information on HIS strengthening.
During this webinar, we will explore how our work to understand what works to strengthen HIS is framed by MEASURE Evaluation’s HIS Strengthening Model and explore HIS Country Profile Indicators, the HIS Assessment Tool Database, and other resources available through the website.

2017. FEMA Should Disallow $2.04 Billion Approved for New Orleans Infrastructure Repairs
The latest DHS OIG report is available on our website.
FEMA Should Disallow $2.04 Billion Approved for New
Orleans Infrastructure Repairs
FEMA should not have awarded the City and S&W Board the
initial $785 million, or the additional $1.25 billion to complete the repairs
to damaged infrastructure, because the damages were not eligible for Federal
disaster assistance funding. Even though FEMA attributed the damages to the
water distribution system directly to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, we
concluded that FEMA did not have sufficient documentation to support its
decision. In fact, evidence shows that the infrastructure was old and in poor
condition even before the hurricanes.
Eligibility for FEMA funding requires that damages be the direct
result of the declared disaster, and it is the applicant’s responsibility to
show that the damages are disaster-related. Read Report No. OIG 17-97-D
