Emergency
Response to Terrorism - Basic Concepts
Wisconsin Emergency Management and the Wisconsin Technical College
System are offering the National Fire Academy developed course entitled
"Emergency Response to Terrorism - Basic Concepts"
throughout the state. Contact your County Emergency Management
Director for course information and applications.
This 2-day course is designed to prepare first response personnel to
take the appropriate course of action at the scene of a potential
terrorist incident. The course will provide students with a general
understanding and recognition of terrorism, defensive considerations
such as biological, nuclear, incendiary, chemical, and explosive
(B-NICE), as well as command and control issues associated with criminal
incidents. When an incident occurs, the students will be able to
recognize and implement self-protective measures; secure the scene;
complete appropriate notifications to local, State and Federal
authorities; and assist in completing a smooth transition from emergency
to recovery and termination operations.
Representatives from the emergency medical service community are
encouraged to attend. Class size is limited to 30 and registration is on
a first-come, first served basis.
These "Emergency Response to Terrorism- Basic Concepts"
courses are scheduled for statewide recruitment. The course may also be
available in your community by request. For more information contact
your County Emergency Management Director.
