Center for Domestic Preparedness to be featured in USA Today

An upcoming issue of USA Today will include a feature article about the Center for Domestic Preparedness.

The newspaper does an annual profile of Department of Homeland Security organizations, and the CDP is one of two stories the newspaper is writing as part of its 2019 profile of the CDP’s parent organization – the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

USA Today interviewed CDP Superintendent Tony Russell and the Chief of the CDP’s Training Management Branch, Kent Latimer, for the article. 

The newspaper also interviewed a number of healthcare specialists at Hartford Hospital in Hartford, CT, who credit the Center for ensuring they were prepared to respond to the October 3 crash of a vintage B-17 bomber at nearby Bradley International Airport.  More than 30 of the hospital’s executives and healthcare specialists attended the CDP’s Healthcare Leadership for Mass Casualty Events course in March.

The USA Today issue with the CDP article should hit the newsstands November 17.
