EOC Situational Awareness and Common Operating Picture (SA/COP)

Course Description

The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Situational Awareness and Common Operating Picture Course is a 16-hour, classroom delivered, training course that is U.S. Department of Homeland Security certified and a CSTI Type III EOC Position Credentialing requirement. The course is designed to build the situational awareness and common operating picture (SA/COP) skills, knowledge, and capabilities of responders supporting all-hazards response operations in the field and emergency operations centers. In addition to SA/COP instruction, the course also provides practical strategies and tools to synchronize workflow during the EOC action planning process (Planning P). The training is a combination of lecture, hands-on activities, and culminates with an innovative, emergency management board game that affords students the opportunity to apply the SA/COP principles and tools in a collaborative, team- building environment.

Target Audience

Participants should be emergency management or response personnel who are currently assigned to an emergency operations center or departmental operations center.
