LN-150 FRMAC Liaison Fundamentals Workshop
July 31, 2018
Farley NPP Joint Information Center – Headland, Alabama
Course Description:
The Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) is one of the nation’s radiation emergency responder assets. One of the methods that FRMAC uses to provide support is with the creation modeling and data products that present radiological dose assessments that are used to support emergency responder and public safety decisions. Typically in map or report form, these dose assessment products are a tool used to put the situation on paper such that the local decision makers can conceptualize the areas that have been affected by the radiation emergency. This workshop is a is a one day interactive session that is provided to offer a deeper level of discussion and awareness on the product set beyond the materials provided in the basic FRMAC overview presentations. The primary objective of this course is for students to achieve a foundation of knowledge with respect to the types of products that FRMAC can make, basic inputs needed to create the dose assessment products, and an understanding of the questions that typically are presented during a radiological emergency response. The workshop will focus on students interacting with the materials, and active learning through discussion. Successful completion of the course will require full participation in the learning activities and passing a final exam.
Audience:
All public safety and emergency management personnel that may have to coordinate with the FRMAC during a radiological event.
Prerequisites:
LN-100 Intro to FRMAC Liaison
Registration:
Registration is limited to personnel who could be involved in the response to a radiological event.

AWR 148: Crisis Management for School-Based Incidents – Partnering Rural Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Local School Systems is an 8-hour, DHS-approved course designed to educate rural law enforcement personnel as well as school administrators and staff on the elements that would allow for an effective response to school-based emergencies. Schools in small, rural, and remote areas across the country account for almost 23 percent of the total student population (more than 11 million students). Rural schools, law enforcement, and other emergency responders are often limited in resources, so it is imperative that all potentially affected parties collaborate on planning, preparing, communicating, responding, and recovering from a school-based incident.
This tuition-free course is beneficial for rural police and sheriff departments, school administrators, school resource officers, counselors, and others involved in school safety and security. Topics covered include:
• Introduction to Incident Planning and Preparedness
• Proactive Threat Mitigation
• Incident Response
• Incident Recovery
• Vulnerability Assessments
• Threat Assessment Management
• Incident Defusing and Debriefing
• Parent Reunification
• Anniversaries, Memorials, Copy-Cats
*Please note all Non-U.S. citizens need to complete a DHS Foreign National Visitor Request Form by June 31, 2018 in order to attend this course. Contact John Kayser with any questions. Contact John Kayser with any questions.

2018-04-17 13:00 - 2018-04-19 12:00 UTC | AL
The Governor’s Office of Volunteer Services, along with the Alabama Volunteer and Donations Coordination Team, is hosting G288: Local Volunteer and Donations Management trainings. The G288: Local Volunteer and Donations Management is a 1 ½ day course designed to strengthen the abilities of local jurisdictions to successfully prepare for and handle volunteer and donations management issues that arise.
As Alabama’s lead for Volunteers and Donations, the Governor’s Office of Volunteer Services has recognized the importance of this training and has scheduled two trainings this coming April and June. The goal is for every local Volunteer and Donations Coordinator and personnel from each county EMA to attend this course. This training allows participants the time to discuss their county’s Volunteer and Donations Management Annex for your County EOP and will guide you through the process of writing or updating your plan.
In addition to G288, HandsOn River Region will also be providing a Volunteer Registration Center (VRC) training. VRC training will prepare participants to staff VRCs that will register and place spontaneous volunteers in times of disaster.
You must register to attend these trainings. This is a free training, but travel expenses are to be incurred by the sponsoring organization/participant.
