EMMAA Plan ProjectIssue #1:PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS • Based upon State credential program and standards • Requirement of EMMAA eligibility • Formalized process for Trainee positions • Expanded EOC position-specific training • Training must be widely available • Provided at no cost or eligible for HSG funding

  10. EMMAA Plan ProjectIssue #2:LACK OF LOCAL UNIFORM EMERGENCY MGMT STRUCTURE • No uniform standard exists for emergency management personnel • Emergency managers are not a homogenous discipline • Local programs and structure vary between Op Areas

  11. EMMAA Plan ProjectIssue #3:RESPONSE TEAM CONCEPT • Logistical difficulties to train and exercise teams assembled from entire State • Enormous local impact if Regional (MARAC) Teams established • Jurisdictional cultural “mind set” • Alternative: Develop database of qualified personnel per position

  13. EMMAA Plan ProjectIssue #5:RIMS • State must renew commitment to improve RIMS • State must commit to provide widespread, timely training when RIMS is modified • RIMS must be compatible with local structures
