Although the most effective training experiences you can provide are those that consider your community’s specific hazards and vulnerabilities, you don’t necessarily have to develop all-new training. When you determine that new, community-specific training is necessary, you don’t have to create it alone.

There are several potential resources available for training:

• FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute (EMI) (https://training.fema.gov/emi.aspx)
• FEMA’s Lessons Learned Information Sharing (LLIS) site (https://www.hsdl.org/c/llis-in-the-hsdl/)
• FEMA’s National Exercise Division (NED)
• State and local emergency management agencies and training offices
• Universities
• Voluntary agencies
• Consulting firms
