CDP partners with others for 2024 Tribal Nations Training Week

The Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) will again partner with several other federal and federally-funded agencies to conduct its annual Tribal Nations Training Week, which is scheduled March 9-16, 2024, on the CDP campus.

CDP-developed courses offered that week include Environmental Health Training in Emergency Response – Operations, Healthcare Leadership for Mass Casualty Incidents (HCL) and Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents (HERT). The HCL and HERT courses will culminate in an Integrated Capstone Event (ICE) – a day-long exercise which promotes an interdisciplinary response to a mass casualty incident.

The National Emergency Response and Recovery Training Center (NERRTC) will share its Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment and Stakeholder Preparedness with Emergency Operations Center Operations and Planning for All-Hazards Events, Incident Command System, and Forms Review courses.

The Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium (RDPC) will offer Underserved Populations Preparedness Planning for Rural Responders and Volunteers, Community Based Response to All-Hazards Threats in Tribal Communities, Emergency Operations Plans for Rural Jurisdictions, and Testing an Emergency Operations Plan in a Rural EOC courses.

FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute will share its Emergency Management Framework for Tribal Governments and Integrated Emergency Management courses.

The National Domestic Preparedness Training Center will offer its Natural Disaster Awareness for Community Leaders course.

The week will also feature an executive session for tribal leaders or their designated representatives and a Tribal Leaders Symposium, a closed listening session for all attendees, and workshops presented by the CDP, RDPC and NERRTC.
