Training Classes

FEMA Emergency Management Institute (EMI) Online Courses:
All RACES members should take the following online FEMA courses: ICS-100, ICS-200, ICS-700, and ICS-800. These courses are offered free of charge; links to them are listed on the Links page.

Note: At the end of each course you will receive a completion certificate. Forward a copy of each certificate to Wade Graves (KF5AUD) at wade.graves@gmail.com so he can update your training records. If you have already taken any of these courses as a part of training in another organization you DO NOT have to take them again – simply forward copies of your certificates to Wade to receive credit.
