E-01 E-Plan- Delivering Vital Hazmant Information to First Responders
E-Plan is a proven system that provides First Responder and others with on-site hazardous chemical information for facilities around the United States. It utilizes emergency contact and hazardous material information submitted under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations and sends it via the internet to First Responders just when they need it the most.
E-Plan provides Tier II reporting data and other important information instantly, such as:
1. Maps of the area surrounding a fixed facility showing schools and hospitals
2. Maps of all facilities with a specified hazardous material in specific areas
3. Chemical Hazards Response Information System (CHRIS) data
4. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
5. Chemical profiles
6. Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) pages
7. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes
8. Facility Risk Management Plans (RMPs)
Goal of the course is to provide representatives of fire, EM and law enforcement with the capabilities of E-Plan to provide information on critical HAZMAT infrastructure in your communities and allow you to provide training as needed to staff in your organizations. As of January 2010, E-Plan will be the only access to Tier II-consolidated reporting forms as industry is no longer required to mail the form to their local LEPCs or fire departments.

A Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) is a requirement for mostly all the Hazard Mitigation Programs (HMA) with some exceptions as Planning Projects or 5% Initiative Projects. For every project from the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Pre Disaster Mitigation (PDM), Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA), Repetitive Flood Claims Program (RFC) and the Severe Repetitive Loss Program (SRL) a Benefit Cost Analysis needs to be done in order to attempt to measure the social benefits of a proposed project demonstrating its cost effectiveness, the evaluation shall generate a benefit-cost analysis ratio and a total of benefits in US Dollars, to indicate the reduction in losses in future events once the project is completed. This BCA is performed utilizing software built and provided by FEMA. The new Benefit Cost Analysis version 4.5.5 was approved in 2009 with several differences compare to older versions. For all participants it is recommended to have a computer available with the installed software. NOTE: This course description was updated 08/30/2011 by FDEM, Training and Exercise Unit.
The primary target audiences for this course are FDEM State Hazard Mitigation personnel and select County officials who deal directly with the mitigation process. Other personnel involved in conducting BC analysis may also apply (County EM Directors must approve of these personnel attending)

SPCL-AUXCOMM SPCL-AUXCOMM: Auxiliary Communications Workshop
This workshop is designed for the amateur radio/auxiliary communicator or group who provides emergency
communications backup support for planned or unplanned events at a State/Territory, Tribal, regional, or local level. This offering is designed for amateur radio operators/organizations who work with public safety and cross-disciplinary emergency response professionals and coordination/support personnel with an amateur radio background. The request and conduct of this course will be under the auspices of the Statewide Interoperability Coordinator (SWIC).
Volunteer emergency communications operators/groups in the amateur radio service have been providing back-up communications to public safety for nearly 100 years. They are used by event planners, public safety officials and emergency managers at all levels of government. Often, amateur radio services have been used reliably when other forms of communications have failed or have been disrupted. Today nearly all the States/Territories have incorporated some level of participation by amateur radio auxiliary
communication operators into their SCIPs.
The course focuses on educating attendees about auxiliary communications interoperability, emergency operation center etiquette, on-the-air etiquette, FCC rules and regulations, auxiliary communications training and planning, certification and accreditation and emergency communications deployment. It is intended to supplement and standardize an operator’s basic knowledge of emergency amateur radio communications in a public safety context.
Attendees should take the on-line IS Courses 100, 200, 700, and 800 prior to the workshop. This is a three day course with facilitated lecture and student exercises. This course builds in time for interactive discussions and exercises. OEC/ICTAP staff will work through the discussions and exercises to explain processes to reach communications operability, interoperability and be able to incorporate any additional communications solutions.
Deliverables
Class seating will be given to members of the specifc region that is hosting this event. Then opened to all interested participants.
IS 100, IS 200, IS 700, and IS 800 should be taken prior to coming to this class
