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 FEMA employees from 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 FEMA Form FF-USFA-FY-21-107 (formerly 119-17-1), Request for Housing Accommodations, is to request housing at the NETC.
