CDP contract employee recognized by OBP

A Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) contract employee has been recognized for administrative support she recently provided to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA’s) Office for Bombing Prevention (OBP).

Lofi Masaniai, who has been with the center a little more than three years, is the CDP’s external agency non-resident/indirect training coordinator. In that role, she oversees all non-resident and indirect training support the center provides to external agencies.

Masaniai was recognized for support she provided to the OBP when it delivered bombing prevention and other training to Canadian security professionals, including members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Canadian Football League, in Regina, Saskatchewan. In a letter, CISA officials said the assistance she provided in late October and early November was ‘instrumental to the success of the entire project.’

“The CDP has given me the opportunity to serve communities around the world by providing support to our instructors and stakeholders in the field,” said Masaniai.

“We (CDP employees) have the unique opportunity to provide the best disaster training across public and private sectors to help during what could be someone’s worst day,” she added.
