** COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course was developed by the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) Urban Search and Rescue Division. It’s designed to help a state or region establish a CBRNE incident-capable task force (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive) that can quickly and efficiently augment initial first responders with specialized training and equipment organized under regional command. This specialized equipment and personnel may be spread out over many cities, many counties, or a combination of both. This course is not designed to provide a template for a state or regional task force to become a FEMA recognized National Urban Search and Rescue Task Force.
Instructor facilitated discussions address local concerns and requirements that pertain to what the task force is expected to accomplish. After receiving instruction in the planning, organizational development, training, equipment, activation, deployment and sustainment of a CBRNE task force, participants will have the requisite knowledge and skills to effectively establish such a team in their area. This course takes the participants through the discussions and negotiations that accompany bringing multiple jurisdictions and responder disciplines into one organizational response structure. This course is the first step in what will be many meetings and discussions within your jurisdiction and/or region on developing a CBRNE task force.
This course is not meant to replace existing teams/task forces that are organized to respond to CBRNE-type of incidents, nor is it designed to change any policies or procedures currently in place. It was designed to assist regions in establishing teams where none exist; to expand current teams through a regional collaborative effort; and for experienced teams to gain insight into how other teams are organized, and be given the opportunity to adopt alternate/revised practices.
** PREREQUISITES: IS700: National Incident Management System (NIMS): An Introduction. This can be completed on-line by following the highlighted link. Assignment to a management position or a position responsible for development of a State or Regional CBRNE Task Force, or have the Have the authority or responsibility to commit resources and personnel toward the task force; familiarity with Weapons of Mass Destruction and Incident Command are recommended.

| Description |
Contact Hours: 16 |
The University of Maryland Center for Health and Homeland Security’s “Preparing the States: Implementing Continuity of Operations Planning” course is now available for delivery. Participants will be trained in the development and implementation of Continuity of Operations Plans (COOP). The goal of this course is to use the successful Federal Preparedeness Circular model, along with other best practices, as the foundation for teaching key State, local, and tribal emergency management officials nationwide to train governmental institutions within their jurisdictions to write effective COOP plans. These COOP plans support the governmental functions, programs, services, systems, and personnel that are essential to continual operations during and after a disabling catastrophoic event or terrorist attack. This course incorporates a discussion based exercise that engages the participants in a hands-on learning experience that draws on the relative backgrounds of the participants to create a dynamic environment in which they must apply the principles of the course to a set of decisions that are likely to occur in a COOP activation scenario.
PREREQUISITES: Successful completion of IS-700: NIMS: An Introduction is required (www.training.fema.gov). IS-546 Continuity of Operations (COOP) Awareness Course is highly recommended, and can also be completed through FEMA Independent Study.

Civil actions in threat incidents are known by a variety of names: riots, civil disturbances, or protests. From a small peaceful assembly to a large, out-of-control,
violent confrontation, public safety officials must be
prepared to handle the incident. This course provides
State and local public safety agencies with the skills
and tactics necessary to prepare for and successfully
contend with protesters and their devices. The course
combines classroom instruction detailing the history
of devices, types of devices, tools to be considered for
extrication, and safety considerations. It includes
hands-on techniques using tools for defeating
improvised protester devices. The course will teach
methods of recognizing, responding to, and
