PER 294 is a DHS/FEMA-certified, 8-hour, tuition-free, performance level course designed with a proactive approach to testing the Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs) of rural communities in an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) environment. EOPs are all hazard plans developed for use by state and local jurisdictions to ensure a coordinated and effective response to natural, technological, or man-made disasters that may occur within an area. It serves as the “game plan” for those who will be tasked with responding to an incident. Testing these plans on a routine basis is critical to their effectiveness.
