GOHSEP Training Academy, Hosted by the NIMSAT Institute & Louisiana Emergency Preparedness Association

Jay Grymes, State Climatologist, teaches a GOHSEP Academy training session on understanding weather predictions.

The Governor’s Office of Homeland and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) offers these courses free to the public.  The GOHSEP Academy partners with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to offer courses in Abdalla Hall through the NIMSAT Institute, an emergency preparedness research center on campus.

They consist of varying topics facilitating refinement in processes critical for community efficiency and resiliency. We encourage you to share these upcoming opportunities with the appropriate partners and stakeholders to maintain and build capabilities within your communities. Make your reservations as soon as possible. All courses will be available in the STEMS portal and are being added monthly.
