improvement identified in the most recent National Preparedness Report when developing exercise priorities. The Multi -year Training and Exercise Plan (TEP) should consider the risks and capability requirements described in the THIRA along with the guidance provided by elected and appointed officials to identify and set training and exercise program priorities and develop a multi -year schedule of exercise events and supporting training activities to meet those priorities. A TEP that is developed from a Training and Exercise Planning Workshop (TEPW) provides a roadmap to accomplish the multi -year priorities identified by elected and appointed officials and whole community stakeholders. These priorities help curriculum and exercise planners design and develop a progressive program of training and exercises that build, sustain, and increase the ability to deliver core capabilities. Information related to TEPs and TEPWs can be found on the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program ( HSEEP) website at hgps://www.fema.gov/exercise. In addition to training activities aligned to and addressed in the TEP, all EMPG Program funded personnel shall complete the following training requirements and record proof of completion: NIMS Training, Independent Study (IS) 100, IS 200, IS 700, and IS 800. In addition, personnel shall complete either the Independent Study courses identified in the Professional Development Series or the National Emergency Management Basic Academy delivered either by the Emergency Management Institute (EMI) or at a sponsored State, local, tribal, territorial, regional or other, designated location. Further information on the National Emergency Management Basic Academy and the Emergency Management Professional Program can be found at: https: / /training.fema. og v /empp /. Previous versions of the IS courses meet the NIMS training requirement. A complete list of Independent Study Program Courses may be found at http: / /train g.fema.g2ydq. A list of the Professional Development Series courses can be found in Appendix B. All recipients will develop and maintain a progressive exercise program, consistent to the degree practical, HSEEP in support of the National Exercise Program (NEP). The NEP is critical to our Nation's ability to test and validate core capabilities. Grant recipients are highly encouraged to nominate exercises into the NEP. For additional information on the NEP, please refer to htt :/p /www.feina.gov /national- exercise - program. Recipients shall conduct no less than four quarterly exercises (i.e., one EMPG - funded exercise and/or an exercise that includes EMPG- funded personnel per quarter) of any type (i.e., discussion -based or operations - based) and one full -scale exercise within a 12 -month period. The five exercises shall be linked to common program priorities and reflect a series of increasingly complex exercises with each building upon the previous one while incorporating prior lessons learned. All EMPG - funded personnel shall participate in no fewer than three exercises in a 12- month period. A progressive, multi -year exercise program enables organizations to participate in a series of increasingly complex exercises, with each successive exercise building upon the previous one while also taking into account prior lessons learned. Regardless of the exercise type, each Page 28 of 46 Appendix A - FY 2016 EMPG Program Priorities 55A -98
