CDP grads ensure safe Super Bowl LIX
The CDP recorded more than 3,000 course completions by first responders from Louisiana in the past five years. Consequently, it’s safe to assume numerous CDP grads were among those helping ensure the safety of fans and players at Super Bowl LIX.
FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) recorded more than 3,000 course completions by first responders from Louisiana in the past five years.
Consequently, when the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs faced off in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX, it’s safe to assume numerous CDP graduates were among those who helped ensure the safety of fans and players at the event.
The responders, including law enforcement officers, healthcare personnel and firefighters, trained on the CDP campus in Anniston, Alabama, and at various locations across Louisiana. Others attended one or more of the CDP’s virtual offerings or completed one or more of the CDP’s online courses.
Courses taken include the CDP’s Field Force Operations, Hazardous Materials Technician, Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents and Intermediate Hands-On Training for CBRNE Incidents courses.
The instructors and support staff of the CDP routinely train responders in preparation for National Special Security Events, such as the Super Bowl, Democratic and Republican National Conventions, and presidential inaugurations. Such events draw large crowds and television audiences and are considered to be potential targets for terrorism or other criminal activities.
