TRAINING

 

The State of Connecticut Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security Training and Exercise Division sponsors emergency preparedness training, seminars, exercises and conferences to local first responders as defined in Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8 (i.e., police, fire, emergency management, emergency medical services, public health, public works, private sector , non-governmental and others) that are designed to cover Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery.

 

The Training and Exercise Division develops and maintains professional partnerships with many public and private institutions so that we may meet the training needs of the State. Based upon needs assessment surveys, the Training and Exercise Division develops and implements new curricula and courses, offers ongoing legacy training programs, and provides training and exercise funding to various agencies. Training is available to approved personnel through the Emergency Management Institute, US Fire Academy, and the Office of Domestic Preparedness.  In addition, on-line independent study courses as well as Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) courses are available to members of the public through the Emergency Management Institute.

 

In coordination with federal, state, regional, and local partners, the State of Connecticut conducts and participates in exercise events that strengthen the ability of the local emergency management community prepare, respond and manage large-scale incidents. We serve as the federal point of contact for DHS/FEMA consortium training programs.
