FW: Shelter Training Required for all DSS Staff


How is this time to be billed? Does it have to go to 990G? It is a big chunk of time!

Importance: High

 

Good afternoon,

Christine Ward and I have been gathering the details about the training requirements for all staff who are potential shelter staff (all DSS staff) and it is as follows.

 

First, there is a YouTube training developed by Red Cross that the state requires all staff complete. It takes around 45 minutes and is found at this link: https://nationalmasscarestrategy.org/covid-19-shelter-training-for-american-red-cross-partners/

Once you have completed this training, please sign the sheet maintained by Christine Ward and your signature will document completion.

 

Second, you must create an account on the North Carolina TERMS (Training, Exercise, Response Management System) http://terms.ncem.org/TRS/ site. This site will track the courses you complete in step 3.

 

Third, all staff must complete two basic FEMA trainings, IS-100 and IS-700. Prior to taking this training you must register for a FEMA Student Identification Login: https://cdp.dhs.gov/sso/login?returnUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fcdp.dhs.gov%2Ffemasid

Once you have established a Student Identification, you must login to the FEMA site (Independent Study Program (ISP): http://training.fema.gov/IS/crslist.asp, click IS on left)

and take the two courses:

·         IS-100 Introduction to the Incident Command System, a 2 hour course

·         IS-700 An Introduction to the National Incident Management System, a 3.5 hour course

When you complete each of the above courses, please print out your certificate and give a copy to your supervisor and to Christine Ward.

 

If you have questions, see Christine Ward or myself.

 

Please complete this training before the end of this calendar year.  You can use the time you gained with the cancellation of the DSS All Staff Meeting in Nov. and Dec.

Thank you very much! 

Linda Clements
