| Computer Aided Management of Emergency Operations (CAMEO) Train the Trainer - MAMGT320-1 2.0 (Course Info) |
| Description |
Contact Hours: 24 |
| CAMEO is a system of software applications used to
plan for and respond to chemical emergencies and
WMD incidents. It is one of the tools developed by
EPA’s Chemical Emergency Preparedness and
Prevention Office (CEPPO) and the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to assist
front-line emergency planners and responders. The
CAMEO system integrates a chemical database and a
method to manage the data, an air dispersion model,
and a mapping capability sharing critical information
in a timely fashion. Participants are expected to
incorporate their knowledge of CAMEO into planning
and responding to WMD scenarios and classroom
exercises presented during the course. Topics include
CAMEO as a WMD tool,MARPLOT applications for
WMD, using LandView in WMD, data management
considerations, data transfer applications, and
scenarios involving chemical, biological, and explosive
events. The course also includes a final comprehensive
scenario the participants can demonstrate
competencies related to the course goals and

| Event Security Planning for Public Safety Professionals - MAMGT335 1.0 (Course Info) |
| Description |
Contact Hours: 16 |
| The Event Security Planning for Public Safety Professionals course is designed to educate all small and rural community public safety personnel as well as local officials concerning security concerns and considerations involved with planning any event.
Event security planning is a critical part of successful event planning. This is a planning and management course designed to introduce basic principles and skills associated with planning security for events in small communities and rural areas.
Designed as a planning level course; it does not provide operational training regarding security at planned events. This course enables participants to recognize and plan adequate strategies and security measures to prevent or mitigate security incidents related to planned events. The course reinforces the importance and magnitude of security planning required to execute a safe and effective event regardless of the size of the event.
Advance planning considerations for security should be built into overall planning and management of events. Bringing together security planners from various agencies and departments will reinforce the benefits of cross-discipline collaboration in advance planning for security of planned events. Policy makers and event planners who attend the course will recognize the benefit of including all involved agencies and personnel on event planning teams. |

** COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is presented by Louisiana State University's National Center for Biomedical Research and Training, and is designed to teach effective, consistent, and practical procedures necessary in surveying and sampling for biological incidents. These procedures will teach consistent, protocol-driven processes that will guide responders and investigators (law enforcement/justice, public health, and veterinarians) as they manage the event. Students will learn uniform sample/specimen handling (chain-of-custody), analysis and reporting. The procedures demonstrate rationale designs based on fundamental understanding of the biology of the agents and their persistence in the environment, coupled with sound forensic practices that are consistent with established law enforcement investigative processes. Applicable standards and regulations outlining the core competencies at the Technician Level for emergency responders are used in modifying and delivery this course.
