The Center for Domestic Preparedness’ (CDP’s) 2023 Tribal Nations Training Week will feature several of the center’s healthcare courses — Barrier Precautions and Controls for Highly Infectious Disease (HID), Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents (HERT), and Healthcare Leadership for Mass Casualty Incidents (HCL).

The three courses will culminate in an Integrated Capstone Event, or ICE. An ICE promotes an interdisciplinary response to mass casualty incidents and challenges responders with a series of scenarios in a daylong practical exercise.

HID provides realistic practical application in the handling and treatment of persons with a highly infectious disease.

HERT trains healthcare responders to integrate the Hospital Incident Command System into the community emergency response network during mass casualty incidents. During the 2023 Tribal Nations Training Week, it will be combined with combined with Isolation and Quarantine for Rural Communities (IQRC), which teaches students about planning for situations requiring the isolation and quarantine of a large portion of a local, rural population.

HCL prepares healthcare leaders to make critical decisions in a wide range of emergency activities.

The week of resident courses will be conducted March 11-18, 2023, on the CDP campus in Anniston, Alabama. CDP training is fully funded for state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency responders, to include roundtrip airfare, meals and lodging.

In addition to the resident courses, the CDP will also offer several Virtual Instructor-Led Training courses between March 20 and April 6. The list of those courses and associated registration information will be released at a later date.

To register for the 2023 Tribal Nations Training Week, contact David Hall, the CDP Eastern Region and Tribal Nations Training Coordinator, at David.Hall@fema.dhs.gov or 866-213-9546.
