Select EHTER Ops modules updated, transferred to video

Curriculum developers at FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness and a group of disaster response subject matter experts have wrapped up their review of select modules of the center’s popular Environmental Health Training in Emergency Response Operations (EHTER Ops) course.

The subject matter experts included environmental health specialists with extensive experience working a variety of natural and manmade disasters as well as responders from state, local, tribal and territorial organizations who have been involved in the COVID-19 response.

The modules focus on water assessment and purification, food safety (to include mass feeding), and safe shelter options – those most requested by communities following disasters.

The segments now include the most up-to-date information for each subject area as well as information on how to safely perform those activities in COVID-19 and other potentially hazardous environments.

The modules have also been transferred to video as part of the CDP’s effort to make as much of its course material as possible available online. Those videos are in final production and expected to be available the first week in November.
