SUMMARY:Wide Area Search - PER-213 (DPH-192)
DESCRIPTION:When disaster strikes it can be a challenge to effectively mobilize\, organize\, and deploy needed resources. The TEEX /NERRTC Wide Area Search course is an excellent training opportunity for nearly any jurisdiction or agency that may face such an emergency. The discipline applies to a vast number of critical situations including natural disasters or terrorist incidents. Participants are instructed in practical search methods and skills so they can perform systematic searches over a large affected area. The training includes challenging exercises that mirror real life scenarios.  \n\n\n\nThe three-day long event concludes with an in-depth exercise that requires participants to apply the skills gained during the course. The instructors delivering the course are knowledgeable\, experienced emergency responders who have actively employed wide area search techniques during some of the nation’s largest and most challenging search and rescue operations.  \n\n\n\nClick here to register: https://training.gema.ga.gov/TRS/courseDesc.do?sourcePage=courseSearch&cofId=66672

SUMMARY:Tactical Emergency Casualty Care - 16 Hour (DPH-107-16)
DESCRIPTION:NAEMT’s Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) teaches EMS practitioners and other prehospital providers how to respond to and care for patients in a civilian tactical environment. It is designed to decrease preventable deaths in a tactical situation.

SUMMARY:Rail Car Incident Response for Crude\, Ethanol\, and Other Flammable Liquids
DESCRIPTION:The All Hazards Training Center at The University of Findlay has developed the Rail Car Incident Response for Crude\, Ethanol\, and Other Flammable Liquids training course for the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (DOT PHMSA) to educate emergency responders on freight rail car incidents involving hazardous materials\, specifically crude oil\, ethanol\, and other flammable liquids. \n\n\n\nAs more and more rail traffic transports cargo\, including hazardous materials\, it is important that the responder community become educated about the dangers and unique hazards presented with rail cars carrying these commodities. \n\n\n\nThe information covered in this tuition-free training course will enhance the ability of emergency responders to assess the scene of a rail car incident\, understand the resources needed to remediate the emergency situation\, including how the railroad will play a critical role in the response. \n\n\n\nHands-on scenarios using a rail car simulator are conducted to emphasize the objectives of the training including: \n\n\n\n\nIdentifying the design\, construction\, components and markings of rail tank cars that carry crude/flammable liquids.\n\n\n\nRecognizing and identifying the chemical being transported\, and the properties that must be considered in an emergency.\n\n\n\nAssessing the scene to determine the potential hazards to people\, property\, and the environment.\n\n\n\nRecognizing mitigation strategies including offensive\, defensive\, and non-intervention strategies for fire and/or spill incidents. This is not a tactics course but rather focuses on strategy and decision making.\n\n\n\nIdentifying key resources in the rail/freight industry as well as federal\, state\, and private resources for response assistance.\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend this course: \n\n\n\n\nFirefighters—including neighboring departments\n\n\n\nOther First Responders— including law enforcement\n\n\n\nCommunity Emergency Management Personnel\n\n\n\nOther Community Stakeholders—including railroad representatives\n\n\n\n\nThis course is sponsored by the Waycross Fire Department.  \n\n\n\nThe registration deadline is August 5\, 2024 at midnight. A minimum of 20 registrations must be received by the deadline to ensure the class will be held. \n\n\n\nTo register: \n\n\n\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc9IWQGk6cmzZutFauS0DDVbZZuKNRWQxIHZkQlDNDe1PDlxQ/viewform \n\n\n\nFor registration assistance\, please contact Susan Bloomfield at Susan.Bloomfield@findlay.edu or 419-434-4353.
