Hi Everyone - FEPA does not issue Membership Certificates. The current membership roster is available (to FEPA members) on the FEPA website. If anyone needs a specific verification of FEPA membership for certification/employment purposes, please email fepa@fepa.org. You do not need FEPA membership verification when you apply for FEPA Certification as it is verified internally before applicants are granted access to the FEPA Certification Website. Thank you. FEPA

Have you had a chance to review the Certification application that is posted to www.fepacertification.org? The application is very comprehensive and includes explanations and instructions and is a really good first start to evaluate your situation. Located on the same site is a roster of Certification Commission members - any of them are available to "mentor" you - you may reach out to them individually, or we can arrange an "email" introduction. At this point, an in-person meeting is probably not feasible. And, please know that all our Commissioners are emergency management practitioners who volunteer their time to serve and are very involved with COVID vaccinations planning and execution across the state, so their response maybe delayed.

We have no waiver process on the Florida requirements, some of the training/experience will translate, but I wanted you to be aware that as a Florida specific Certification there are requirements for activities/experience in Florida.

You can learn more about FEPA Certification requirements by downloading and reviewing the detailed applications. They are available on our Certification website www.fepacertification.org. The application includes the requirement and instructions. As it is a Florida-specific Certification there are requirements for experience, training and professional contributions in Florida.

Yes, each version will have an "effective for disasters declared after "x" date ... so applicants may be subject to different versions for different declarations they are managing. I do not know of a comparison/synopsis document of changes. If you find one please report. Thank you
