Training & Exercise
DES Training provides high-quality training to members
of the Utah emergency management community, which contributes to the saving
of life, prevention of injury, protection of property and preservation
of the environment during major emergencies and disasters.
The emergency management Training & Exercise program
was created to assist elected and appointed officials, other personnel
of County and City governments, and personnel of volunteer organizations
and State Agencies to prepare for responding to and recovering from disasters
and serious emergencies, particularly those which involve multiple agencies
and/or multiple jurisdictions, and are beyond the resource capability
of the local jurisdiction.
The DES Training Team is authorized by the National Emergency
Training Center to deliver in Utah the Field Course Curriculum of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency. In addition, a training needs assessment
is conducted and training is customized to meet the needs of local jurisdictions.
Training is offered at no-or-low cost to all public sector
and volunteer organizations with a legitimate connection with emergency
management and a desire to enhance their ability to prepare for, respond
to and recover from emergencies and disasters.
DES Training is conducted in the following areas:
DES also provides a state-wide disaster
Exercise Program, in which City, County, agency and organizational
emergency plans, policies, procedures and equipment are tested and evaluated
through frequent and regular simulated disasters. The State Exercise
Officer conducts disaster simulation exercises in all of Utah's twenty-nine
counties and many of its cities, and coordinates disaster exercises between
the public and private sectors.
DES also facilitates training for Utah citizens at the
National Emergency
Training Center in Maryland, paid for by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), recruiting individuals from numerous
jurisdictions throughout Utah.
Courses and workshops are available
at little-or-no cost to all Utah citizens with a legitimate professional
or volunteer involvement in emergency management, and can be taken whenever
offered, in any order.
There are two types of certification in emergency
management training available in Utah. DES offers FEMA certification
in the Professional Development Series and the
Advanced Professional Series  .
