CDP opens registration for Tribal Nations Training Week

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is pleased to announce registration is open for the Center for Domestic Preparedness’ (CDP) 11th annual Tribal Nations Training Week!

The week-long training event will be conducted Sept. 12-19. It is intended for state, local, tribal, and territorial responders who work in an emergency response capacity and are affiliated with one or more tribal nations or the Indian Health Service.

This year’s Tribal Nations Training Week offers new opportunities, including training in CDP’s Chemical, Ordnance, Biological and Radiological Training Facility (COBRATF). COBRATF is the only site in the nation where civilian responders can train with toxic chemical agents and biological materials.

The 2026 Tribal Nations Training Week will feature courses in 11 separate tracks: Cyber, Healthcare Leadership, Healthcare Emergency Response, Hazardous Materials, Law Enforcement, Community Safety, Tribal Emergency Operations Planning, Executive, Explosives, Strategic National Stockpile and Incident Command.

CDP training is fully funded for state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency responders, to include roundtrip airfare, meals and lodging.

A FEMA student ID is needed for registration. To register for a FEMA SID number, go to: https://cdp.dhs.gov/FEMASID.
