This is what I have drafted to send to all staff. Please provide your feedback about how clear it is about expectations.
Thank you.

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, 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
Lastly, you must log into the North Carolina TERMS (Training, Exercise, Response Management System) http://terms.ncem.org/TRS/ where you must enter what you have completed by Adding Training/Exercise to your Transcript.
If you have questions, see Christine Ward or myself.
Please complete this training before the end of this calendar year.
Thank you very much!
Linda Clements
