FY05 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM - VERSION 2.0. 12-22-2004 State and local NRP Implementation As part of the NRP implementation, state, territorial, local, and tribal governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are requested to: . Utilize established incident reporting protocols to notify local and regional JTTFs and the Homeland Security Operations Center (HSOC), as appropriate . Coordinate with the HSOC regarding procedures for establishing connectivity for domestic incident management purposes. Local government procedures should be coordinated with the respective state government and/or EMA . Modify existing incident management and EOPs within 120 days (or no later than the next major plan maintenance cycle) to ensure proper alignment with NRP coordinating structures, processes, and protocols. F. Institutionalizing Awareness Training In an effort to meet the needs of emergency responders who require awareness-level CBRNE training, ODP has developed a standardized CBRNE awareness training program that supports state and local efforts to institutionalize CBRNE awareness training. The goal of this program is to provide states and urban areas with a mechanism for delivery and sustainment of CBRNE awareness training for all emergency response disciplines included in their strategies, including but not limited to: emergency management, emergency medical service, fire service, government administrative, hazardous materials, health care, law enforcement, public communications, public health, and public works. The standardized awareness curriculum covers basic awareness level training; prevention and deterrence of terrorism; chemical and biological weapons agents; radiological and nuclear materials and explosive devices; and response actions. The program relies on a train-the-trainer approach to maximize the program's reach and facilitate ongoing efforts to incorporate CBRNE Standardized Awareness Authorized Trainer (SAAT) into state and local training programs. Trainers designated by states and urban areas will participate in a 12-hour National CBRNE SAAT Train-the-Trainer course taught by members of the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC). Graduates of that program will then be certified to deliver the six-hour National CBRNE Standardized Awareness course to personnel within their state and local jurisdiction. The expectation is that this program will build a core cadre of instructors who will carry out this training on an ongoing basis within their state and local jurisdiction. Overtime and backfill costs associated with training deliveries will be eligible for reimbursement under the SHSP and the UASI Programs. ODP will support Authorized Trainers with course materials and program updates as necessary. The National CBRNE Standardized Awareness Program has fully met the requirements of the ODP Course Development and Review Process and will be referenced in the DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECUR(TY I OFFICE FOR DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS 54
