Damage Assessment is the crucial first step to recovering from a disaster in your community. Without it, response and recovery can be unorganized, resources inadequate, and recovery funds non-existent. This four-hours Damage Assessment for Local Jurisdictions - Workshop is facilitated by an experienced instructor who will introduce damage assessment concepts to individuals who will be rating damage in the field. Some topics covered include your role in disaster, state and federal damage assessment classification, conducting and documenting damage, visual documentation guidelines, coordination with your Emergency Management Coordinator and more!
This course can be taught onsite at your department/organization by request.

In this 8-hour session taught by Right Track Response Solutions, participants will be instructed in the principles and operational application of modern decontaminants (decon) and tools to make decon easier and more effective on transportation incidents. Decon processes have been relatively unchanged for 100+ years, this course explores how we can be more effective and efficient in decon. Discussions include decon for synthetic opioids, chemical warfare agents, biological warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals/toxic industrial materials, and other emerging threats in transport. Other topics discussed will include decon in cold vs. warm weather, post-fire decon, disinfection, and decon with a smaller footprint. Recommended Standard Operating Guidelines (SOGs) will be presented, as well as the integration of MDD into existing SOG's and agency operating procedures. Participants will demonstrate their knowledge during hands on practical exercises involving transportation incidents.
Tactical advantages help responders win the war. Wipe, Apply, Remove, Shower (WARS®), is a new concept that will help responders properly perform Decon. The attendee will also learn the five things to consider when determining the type of Decon to set up for the situation which are, Chemical properties, Location of contamination, Environmental conditions, Amount of contamination, and Net time of exposure (CLEAN®). Each of these concepts are part of a system that will guide responders in the proper decon application and type, to increase effectiveness and reduce potential exposure.
Who Should Attend: This course is intended for firefighters, police officers, government employees, military personnel, and private industry emergency responders and professionals who could be asked to perform decon on a potential hazardous material emergency or job including a rail line or highway incident.

This is an instructor-led workshop reviewing the principles presented in the ICS 100-Introduction to the Incident Command System and the ICS 700- An Introduction to the National Incident Command System, both of which can be taken online. This instructor-led workshop is beneficial for students who want to learn the principles covered in these courses or review this course material. After the lecture, this workshop features an instructor-led discussion on where each student would fit in with an incident.
ICS 100 introduces the Incident Command System (ICS) and provides the foundation for higher level ICS training. This course describes the history, features and principles, and organizational structure of the Incident Command System. It also explains the relationship between ICS and the National Incident Management System (NIMS). ICS 700 provides an overview of NIMS. NIMS defines the comprehensive approach guiding the whole community - all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations (NGO), and the private sector - to work together seamlessly to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the effects of incidents. The course provides learners with a basic understanding of NIMS concepts, principles, and components.
NOTE: After completing this workshop, students are invited to complete the FEMA online course exam if they chose. Students must have a FEMA SID Number and have access to a web-capable device to complete the exams and get FEMA certificates.
