The Center for Domestic for Domestic Preparedness has announced the dates for its next Tribal Training Week, the largest annual tribal training event in the Department of Homeland Security.
The annual event will be March 28 to April 4, 2020 on the CDP Campus in Anniston, AL.
Training during the week will feature 16 courses in eight different training lanes, in addition to a number of evening activities. Five of the training lanes will culminate in an integrated capstone exercise, where students will work though a mass casualty scenario featuring multiple events and dozens of live actors.
Registration for the week will open in October.
More than 230 responders from 46 Tribal Nations and 45 Tribal agencies attended Tribal Training Week 2019, which included presentations by a number of the CDP’s training partners from across the country, as well as evening lectures on topical issues such as active shooter response and cybersecurity.
The event kicked off with a lavish feast with a variety of traditional Native American dishes, followed by a formal opening ceremony in the CDP’s headquarters building.
