CDP tribal training featured on DHS webinar series

The Center for Domestic Preparedness’ (CDP’s) Tribal Nations Training Program was featured today (May 20) in a new Department of Homeland Security webinar series.

The CDP program encourages tribal responders to participate in the center’s advanced skills training throughout the year, in addition to its annual Tribal Training Week which has courses tailored exclusively for those in tribal communities.

CDP Superintendent Tony Russell provided opening remarks in the webinar.  He explained how the center’s training can help tribal responders better help those they serve while making their communities more resilient.

He was followed by Dave Hall, the CDP’s West Region and Tribal Training Coordinator. Hall provided detailed information about the CDP’s resident training offerings and its Tribal Training Week, which is the largest annual tribal training event in all of DHS.

As part of his presentation, Hall included testimonials from a number of tribal responders who are also center alumni in which they explained how CDP training has benefitted them.

This particular DHS webinar series provides information on a wide range of topics to department staff who work directly with tribes. Additional webinars are planned throughout the summer.
