  • January 18, 2023: AWR-147, Rail Car Incident Response.
    Rail Car Incident Response is an eight-hour, awareness-level training program developed to educate emergency responders on freight rail car incidents involving hazardous materials.  Because most freight rail traffic traverses rural areas, it is important that responders, especially those in resource limited areas, understand the dangers and unique hazards these incidents present.  Participants will gain an understanding of potential hazards at a train derailment, the properties of specific chemicals, and various incident control, confinement, and containment mitigation techniques.  Upon completion of this course, participants should be better prepared to recognize and characterize different types of freight rail cars, potential leaks, and courses of action to be taken based on initial assessment without endangering the health and safety of the responders.  Course is free of charge.  To register: https://ruraltraining.org/course/AWR-147/?scheduled=true&id=8734
  • January 31 - February 1, 2023: MGT-346, EOC Operations and Planning for All-Hazards.   
    This course provides personnel who could be assigned to or work in an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) the skills necessary to effectively plan for and manage a large-scale incidents by applying and implementing an all-hazards, multi-disciplinary, management team approach.  The course places specific emphasis on the planning, resource, and information management processes.  Lastly, the course focuses on the key decision-making requirements within the EOC.  Students will learn from the effects of incident decisions while working in an EOC using a simulated, notional jurisdiction as they respond to the final days exercise.  Course is free of charge.  CEU credit available (1.5 IACET CEU's).  For registration information, please email us at ema@tuscco.com
