Responders practice pulling affected individuals out of a hazardous environment during a simulated chemical incident in the Hazardous Materials Technician (HMT) course at FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP). The CDP’s five-day HMT course, based on NFPA® 470: Standard for Hazardous Materials/Weapons of Mass Destruction Emergency Response Personnel Professional Qualifications, teaches students HAZMAT-specific response concepts and skills, enabling them to respond safely and effectively to an incident at the hazardous materials technician level.
The CDP is authorized to award 4 CEUs for this course by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training. For additional information, or to register for future HMT courses, visit: https://cdp.dhs.gov/training/course/PER-272.
