Description

To provide travel stipends (up to 75 percent of the expense of attendance) to fire service, emergency medical services, and emergency managers attending National Fire Academy (NFA) courses at the National Emergency Training Center (NETC) in Emmitsburg, Maryland. This assistance is provided by Public Law 93-498, Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974. NFA curricula and programs are designed to support State and local response agencies to prevent, mitigate, prepare for, and respond to local, regional and national emergencies. Cost sharing for student attendance at NETC supports Goal 5 of the DHS Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years (FY) 20-24, Strengthen Preparedness and Resilience; and Goal 3 of the FEMA Strategic Plan for FY 2022-2026, Promote and Sustain a Ready FEMA and Prepared Nation. NFA has a performance measure in place to measure the percentage of supervisors of students trained who believe their staff are better prepared as a result of NFA training. For FY 2022, 93.3% of supervisors reported their staff was better prepared for natural and man-made emergencies.
