Flame Track brings explosive awareness to CDP’s Tribal Nations Training Week
CDP is including explosive awareness and response training in its Tribal Nations Training Week this year.
FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) is including explosive awareness and response training in its Tribal Nations Training Week this year.
The CDP’s 10th annual Tribal Nations Training Week Sep. 20 - 27 on the CDP campus in Anniston, Alabama, and will consist of 10 different course tracks incorporating topics relevant to state, local, tribal and territorial responders affiliated with a tribal nation or the Indian Health Service who work in an emergency response capacity.
Tracks included in this year’s training are Cyber, Flame, Curriculum, Emerge, Executive, Healthcare, Exercise, Instructor, Managing Public Information, and Hospital Emergency Response Training.

The Flame Track is a new addition this year. The CDP is partnering with New Mexico Tech (NMT) and Louisiana State University (LSU) to include their courses on Homemade Explosives: Awareness, Recognition, and Response; Site Protection through Observational Techniques; Prevention of Bombing Incidents; Response to Bombing Incidents; and Initial Law Enforcement Response to Suicide Bombing Attacks.
The courses have a strong law enforcement focus, but are relevant to any first responders whose work may bring them into contact with explosive materials.
As in past years, evening events will include discussion and networking opportunities, enabling and encouraging responders from various areas and tribes to exchange ideas and expertise.
For more information on this week of training or to register, send an email to FEMA-tribalnationscdp@fema.dhs.gov.
CDP training for state, local and tribal, and territorial emergency responders is fully funded, including round-trip transportation, meals, and lodging.
