How does this course fit into IPER training for emergency preparedness? The Records Emergency Preparedness and Response course is one of the two main IPER courses. We recommend taking both courses, starting with Essential Records and then this course. In addition, CoSA has developed an Introduction to Records and Information Management as a suggested prerequisite for the two main IPER courses for anyone who has not had any formal training in records management principles and practices.
State-specific resources
The CoSA Resource Center provides links to regulations, policies, guidance, and assistance in each state and territory related to topics covered in the IPER Essential Records course.
