Program NN
Program NN is a combination of the Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents (PER-902) course and the WMD Hands-On Training (PER-262) course.
PER-902 Course Description
The 24-hour HERT for MCI course is designed to provide medical operation guidance to hospitals, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), healthcare facility personnel, and others who may become involved in an MCI as a result of a natural, accidental, or intentional event. The course assists the healthcare responder in understanding the relationship between a Hospital Incident Command System (HICS), a scene Incident Command System (ICS), and other IMS used by municipal Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) during all manners of emergencies; addresses PPE requirements; and presents guidance for HERT design, development, and training. This course helps prepare facilities and agencies to conduct a safe and effective emergency medical response to MCI. This is a hands-on course, and participants must be physically and psychologically fit to wear PPE during the training. HERT MCI culminates with the application of this training in small- and large-group, facilitated practical exercises.
PER-262 Course Description
The WMD Hands-On Training course is a two-day course that provides the responder with hands-on practical exercises that gives the responder the ability to perform triage and decontamination procedures, identify residual contamination through the use of survey and monitoring equipment, and conduct scene survey and safety. As part of the 16 contact hours for this course, the performance defensive responder also performs survey and monitoring procedures, and conducts triage and decontamination of victims within a toxic facility.
