Good morning All,

 

I would like to introduce myself; I am the Eastern Region Training Coordinator at the Center for Domestic Preparedness, Anniston Alabama. Your contact information was passed on to me from our representative that met you at the National UASI 2010 Conference. The Center for Domestic Preparedness is a member of the Department of Homeland Security, National Domestic Preparedness Consortium, and offers fully funded training for eligible responder disciplines.  I have attached several documents for your use / review, should you have any question please don’t hesitate to call or drop me an email.  Please visit our website to learn more about the Training Center and all it has to offer.  The attached Resident Program List is a hyperlinked document that will provide easy access to the programs we offer.

 

“If you are a state or local emergency responder, this training is completely funded by DHS at no cost to you or your jurisdiction. We fly you into Atlanta airport, pick you up, transport you to the CDP, and provide all meals and lodging.”

“HOLDING SEATS”

            For personnel assigned as Department Chiefs, Operations, Superintendents, Training Officers, or Department Point of Contact, with the responsibility and authority to schedule personnel for training I can use the “Holding Seat” process to reserve seats for you.  You will need to contact me directly and provide the name, phone number and department of the personnel you are requesting a seat for and if available I will make the reservation.  Applications are still required to be processed through the State SAA’s office for approval however; using this system you will know seats are available for you. 

 

“TEAM TRAINING”

Several departments utilize the Team Training concept and send as many as 60 personnel at one time to the Center for training.  With some prior coordination we have been able to support agencies in their request for special classes. If you have any special request for dates /classes contact me and once the details are worked out I will keep the state informed of the request and when approved the applications will be routed through the state office for final approval.  

 

Please feel free share this information with other responder agencies within your community.
