National Earthquake Technical Assistance Program Resource Guide for Earthquake Program Managers

The National Earthquake Technical Assistance Program (NETAP) Resource Guide outlines FEMA's process for delivering in-person earthquake risk reduction trainings to state, territorial, and local government entities. It details how to request NETAP trainings, the responsibilities of requesting organizations, and provides an overview of available courses, which cover topics such as seismic assessment, retrofit guidelines, earthquake safety for schools and hospitals, and building code concepts. The guide also specifies target audiences for each course, including building professionals, emergency managers, and the general public. NETAP trainings are designed to enhance community resilience by improving knowledge and capacity for earthquake mitigation and preparedness.
