CDP indirect and nonresident training numbers for September released

FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) conducted 34 non-resident courses for 918 responders in September and 63 indirect courses for 714 responders during the same period.

Non-resident courses are delivered by contract CDP instructors at locations across the United States. Indirect courses are delivered by volunteer responders to people in their organization, community, or both. The volunteer responders must be graduates of both the courses they instruct and that course’s associated train-the-trainer course.

September deliveries included the CDP’s Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents - Basic Indirect course to healthcare personnel in Washington, DC; Jamaica, New York; and Greenville, Michigan.

CDP training is provided free of charge to state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency responders.
