This course trains key personnel within a local jurisdiction who are required to prevent, mitigate, manage, and/or respond to all hazards, mass casualty events with special attention on terrorists incidents. Participant learning occurs in multi-disciplinary teams. Upon completion, these teams will be better able to conduct a capabilities-based comprehensive CBRNE/terrorism risk (threat and vulnerability), capabilities, and needs (planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercises) assessments.
The course consists of lectures, small group discussions, participant activities, multimedia scenarios, and the conducting of vulnerability assessments for critical infrastructure and key resources selected by the host jurisdiction. Participant activities focus on the DHS Office of Grants and Training (G&T) State Homeland Security Assessment and Strategy (SHSAS) Program's jurisdictional assessments, i.e., risk, capabilities, and needs.
This course is cost-free to participants.
