SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) (42 U.S.C. 5121-5207)
authorizes the President to establish a program of disaster
preparedness that utilizes services of all appropriate agencies and
includes training and exercises. Section 611 of the Stafford Act (42
U.S.C. 5196) directs that FEMA may conduct training for the purpose of
emergency preparedness. In response, FEMA established the NETC, located
in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The NETC site has facilities and housing
available for those participating in preparedness training and a
request for use of these areas is required to be made in advance for
the need for such.
The NETC is a FEMA facility which houses all FEMA employees at
headquarters, regions, field establishments, and other individuals and
organizations authorized to use the facilities. The responsibilities,
procedures, and potential fees charged for using the NETC facilities
are identified in accordance with FEMA Directive Number 119-3, Facility
Use and Expenses at the National Emergency Training Center dated May
21, 2018. The NETC provides training and educational programs in
emergency response, preparedness, fire prevention and control, disaster
response, and long-term disaster recovery. The principal purpose of
