The course syllabus is not intended to create an "instant" expert. This course is not a crime scene processing course.

Thereat & Risk Assessment

This course prepares emergency response managers, community leaders, private sector, non-government organizations, and tribal leaders to conduct a comprehensive, capabilities-based threat and risk assessment for a terrorism/all-hazards incident under the National Response Framework (NRF), National Preparedness Guidelines and Homeland Security Presidential Directives. Participant activities focus on the jurisdictional process for determining the ability to respond to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) and all-hazards events and the development of the needs assessment to fill shortfall/gaps identified within the solution areas. The course delivery combines lecture, small group discussions, participant activities, and multimedia scenarios to improve the multi disciplinary emergency team's capability to prevent, protect, respond to, or recover from CBRNE/all-hazards mass casualty events.
