- The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Emergency Training Center (NETC), Emergency Management Institute (EMI) partnering with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?s (Department of Commerce) Coastal Services Center in Charleston, South Carolina has an Emergency Management Higher Education project/requirement to develop a stand alone, ready to teach, graduate-level college course on Coastal Hazards Management. This is a 100% small business set-aside. The associated NAICS code is 611430, Professional Development Training, and the small business size standard is $6.0 million [average annual receipts for three preceding fiscal years]. The goal of this requirement is to encourage and support the expansion of hazard, disaster and emergency management related education in colleges and universities across the United States so that in the future more emergency management and related personnel in government and in the private sector will come to the job not only with a college education, but with a course of study in emergency management as well. In addition to encouraging the development of hazard, disaster and emergency management bachelor and graduate degree programs in United States colleges and universities. Each Emergency Management Higher Education Project course shall be developed within the philosophical context of (1) building disaster resistant and resilient communities, and (2) seeking balance between the technocratic and the social vulnerability reduction approaches to emergency management. Please refer to the Higher Education Project Slide Presentation at the following website address: http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/edu/hihgedbrief/course2.ppt Course developers shall be college/university faculty with doctoral credentials and upper division college-level teaching experience, as well as emergency management, coastal hazards management and/or disaster field research experience. The purpose of this requirement is to develop a 45-48 hour contact hour classroom-based graduate-level course on ?Coastal Hazards Management.? The final product shall be a complete and ready-to-use course, which could be taught, ?as is? at 4-year accredited colleges and universities at the graduate level. The course shall be developed to expand the knowledge base of future and practicing emergency managers in the practices and intricacies of coastal hazards management; contribute to the professional development of practicing coastal management and related personnel; create interest in students entering the field of coastal hazards management; and to increase the interest of universities in the development of Coastal Hazard Management Certificate Programs. The course shall fulfill the requirements of a standard 3-semester hour college course at the graduate level and will need to contain more lecture material than can be used in a standard 45 contact-hour course in order to provide flexibility to the user. All deliverables shall be Section 508 compliant. Award of a firm fixed price purchase order is contemplated.
