Annex C: Annotated Bibliography: Resources for Transportation Sector Training and Exercises

Courses

This course is designed as the introduction to the Incident Command System (ICS), which is the command and control system mandated by the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The course is the same as other FEMA Independent Study ICS courses, but it uses public works applications.

The course is designed to introduce the student to basic exercise concepts, including designing, managing, and evaluating an exercise and creating an improvement plan. This course is the introductory level to the HSEEP process. This along with courses IS-130 and IS-139 are intended to provide baseline knowledge for participation in formal HSEEP exercise training. These three courses are the prerequisites for taking the HSEEP training.

The purpose of this course is to build on the information in IS-120 with a focus specifically on the exercise evaluation elements. It includes methods for analyzing data from the exercise, creating the After Action Report and the Improvement Plan. This is useful to all civilian agencies as an adjunct to IS-120. It focuses on terminology and processes required for administering an exercise.

This is the basic civilian exercise design course that is offered to all government agencies. It covers tabletop, functional, and full scale exercises, exercise evaluation, and exercise enhancements. The primary focus is on designing the functional exercise, which takes place in an emergency operations center (EOC), with a simulation cell (Sim Cell) providing the outside information and stimulation of response actions by EOC personnel.

This independent study course provides an introduction to the National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS is used by all local, state, tribal, territorial, federal and private sector entities during domestic incidents to provide command, control, communication and collaboration across multiple professions and multiple jurisdictions.

This independent study course provides an introduction to the National Response Framework, which is the nationwide plan for coordination and collaboration during multi- agency, multi-jurisdiction disasters.

This independent study course provides an introduction to the meaning and function of ESF #1 – Transportation within the Emergency Response Framework. It lays out the relationships between levels of government in the requesting of and provision of transportation assets and services. As such, it is a useful guide for the development of exercises in local and state transportation agencies by making clear the types of assistance that can be expected and planned for.

This independent study course provides an introduction to the Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) Support Annex to the National Response Framework (NRF). The course describes the relationship between the NRF and CIKR prevention, protection, and response and recovery; the role of the Infrastructure Liaison in supporting coordination with the CIKR sectors and all levels of partners; and identifies the processes defined in the NRF for ensuring that CIKR considerations are integrated into incident response efforts.

The independent study course presents an overview of the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). The NIPP provides the unifying structure for the integration of existing and future CIKR protection and resiliency efforts into a single national program. This course explains the importance of protecting critical infrastructure and key resources; identifies the relevant authorities and roles for CIKR protection efforts; and describes the NIPP unifying structure for the integration of CIKR protection efforts, including: sector security partnership model, risk management framework, and information sharing process.

This independent study course provides an overview of the elements of and processes to develop and sustain successful critical infrastructure protection partnerships. This course explains the value of partnerships to infrastructure protection and resilience, identifies strategies to build successful critical infrastructure partnerships, describes methods to work effectively in a critical infrastructure partnership, identifies processes and techniques used to sustain critical infrastructure partnerships, and identifies strategies and methods for achieving results through critical infrastructure partnerships.

This independent study course provides an overview of surveillance activities and the indicators associated with them, as well as the actions that employees and service providers can take to report potential surveillance incidents. The course identifies potential targets of adversarial surveillance, describes the information obtained by surveillance that is of interest to adversaries, helps participants to recognize indicators of surveillance within the everyday environment, identify actions that one can take to detect potential adversarial surveillance incidents, describes the importance of identifying and reporting suspicious activities associated with adversarial surveillance, and specifies actions one can take to report potential incidents of adversarial surveillance.

This independent study course introduces those with critical infrastructure duties and responsibilities to the information they need and the resources available to them in the execution of the mission to protect and improve resilience in the nation’s critical infrastructure. The course summarizes critical infrastructure responsibilities, identifies the range of critical infrastructure protection activities for all levels of government, describes processes for effective information sharing with critical infrastructure partners, and identifies various methods for assessing and validating information.

This toolkit is an adjunct to the IS-921 course. It includes information on critical incident planning, tabletop exercise planning, critical infrastructure partnerships, frequently asked questions, videos and resources. It is formatted as a series of downloadable PDF documents and videos to help personnel responsible for critical infrastructure to develop and implement a tabletop exercise.

TRB funded the creation of this multidisciplinary course that is designed to facilitate the rapid restoration of full service on the highway after an accident. Prospective students include Department of Transportation personnel, law enforcement, fire service, emergency medical service, ambulance providers and tow company employees. The curriculum includes training in the Incident Command System as the common command and control system to be used in multi-agency emergency events.

Classroom Prerequisite for All FY2014 MEPP Series

EMI requires that all MEPP applicants complete the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) training course and/or the accompanying Train- the-Trainer (TTT). This course has been administered since 2005 under Training and Exercise Integration (TEI) course catalog code MGT-330 or EMI code E/L146. The HSEEP TTT has been conducted as TEI 330-1 and as EMI code E/L 147. Many states have also conducted this course and have issued certificates. Copies of Certificates of Completion must be included in your MEPP applicant package. Certificates with dates of attendance of less than three (3) days are not acceptable unless accompanied by a course agenda that clearly shows that the HSEEP course (also referred to as mobile training course) was conducted in accordance with the Plan of Instruction (POI) for the seven (7) course modules and contact hours.

EMI reserves the right to modify the prerequisites for the MEPP on an individual MEPP series basis.
