CDP offers chemical incident response planning course

FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) recently released a new web-based training course designed to support the development of effective chemical incident response and recovery plans: Key Planning Factors and Considerations for Response to and Recovery from a Chemical Incident (Chem KPF).

Chemical incidents create many distinct and unique challenges for communities due to the nature of the agents involved, public health issues and economic consequences. The Chem KPF course is designed to provide education, awareness and guidance to support the development of effective federal, regional, state, local, tribal and territorial chemical incident response and recovery plans. It is based on the similarly named guidance document available on FEMA's Office of Emerging Threats webpage.
