Course Catalog

INSTRUCTOR: CDP. A four-day, 32-hour course that provides healthcare responders an opportunity to address realistic decisions regarding an all-hazards disaster in a facility-based exercise.

Three objectives are:

1. Develop an understanding of chemical, biological, and radiological threats with latest concerns.
2. Develop an understanding of the selection and use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
3. Demonstrate the ability to properly don/doff Level-C PPE.

Join us for a comprehensive session on parish hurricane preparedness, planning, event procedure, and incident response. ESF will be present to assist parishes with hurricane planning and be available for Q & A.

This course provides managers with tips for interviewing, on-boarding, and motivating employees. This course must be completed within 1 year of promotion. This course is a pre-requisite to "CPTP 2015 Core Capstone Workshop."

The National Exercise Division will host an instructor led 6-hour PrepToolkit Learning Session that will guide attendees through the various functions of building, conducting, and evaluating an exercise in PrepToolkit. The PrepToolkit Learning Session aims to provide the attendees with the technical and practical expertise to build and manage an exercise in PrepToolkit confidently and independently. PrepToolkit is an online collaborative environment in which individuals from all levels of government and the private and nonprofit sectors can prepare for risks in their communities. It serves as a platform for technology toolkits aligned to each area of the National Preparedness System. Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop to follow along with the instructor as they build a mock exercise within PrepToolkit.

The HSEEP Training Course is an interactive course that allows participants to share personal lessons learned and best practices while gaining practical experience. In addition to the instructor-led course presentations, the course includes small group activities, videos, and group discussions. The course also provides overviews of HSEEP-related initiatives such as technology (e.g., the HSEEP Toolkit) and capabilities-based planning (e.g., Target Capabilities List [TCL]). This blended approach will give participants hands on experience that readily translates to real-world exercise skills. Activities include creating exercise documentation, conducting exercise planning conferences and briefings, and practicing exercise evaluation.

To quote a cliche: “There are operational successes and there are intelligence failures.” Unfair perhaps, yet the Intelligence Community has been criticized for not preventing the catastrophic events of 9/11. Repercussions of 9/11 have required the Intelligence Community to assess itself and refocus its ability to support Homeland Security. Intelligence agencies have been forced to review some of the basic tenets of the profession and develop new techniques, tactics and procedures to combat the new threats to the security and stability of the United States.

The 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon and the ensuing War on Terror have focused the nation’s attention on homeland security. This course examines key questions and issues facing the U.S. intelligence community and its role in homeland security and homeland defense. Course reference materials will provide an overview of diverse intelligence disciplines and how the intelligence community operates. Course emphasis will be on issues affecting policy, oversight, and intelligence support to homeland defense/security and national decision-making. The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 is presented and the course is shaped to focus on homeland intelligence support issues at the State / Local / Tribal levels.

Knowing and preparing for the threats that our country faces on a daily basis is essential to protect communities from criminal activity and terrorist attacks. With the online Homeland Security Specialist program from LSU, students will gain a greater understanding of how law enforcement operates within a homeland security enterprise.

This MicroCert has been developed in collaboration between LSU’s National Center for Biomedical Research and Training/Academy of Counter Terrorist Education (NCBRT/ACE) and LSU Online & Continuing Education. Participants will learn the importance of conducting risk assessments to protect from criminal activity and terrorist attacks and will learn the predominant modern modes of operations that extremists use to plan for and execute an attack.

This program is ideal for law enforcement officers, public safety professionals and private sector representatives involved in security and safety functions and risk management or threat reduction. Participants enrolled in this program will benefit from the 30+ years of experience that LSU’s National Center for Biomedical Research and Training/Academy of Counter-Terrorist Education (LSU NCBRT/ACE) has in developing complex threat training for our nation’s emergency responders.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, in partnership with the State of Louisiana, will convene HUD’s Climate Community Resilience Roundtable, which is scheduled for Friday July 21, 2023, at Jefferson Parish Regional Library located at 4747 West Napoleon Ave. in Metairie Louisiana from 8:30am – 4:30pm.

The Climate Community Resilience Roundtable will provide a platform for internal and external stakeholders to collaborate, share resources, offer support and tools available to better equip and assist the state and cities of Louisiana when responding to climate crisis. In addition, this Roundtable will provide best practices and strategies by providing the opportunity to share information on how we can utilize HUD’s Climate Community Resilience Toolkit.

We will also discuss leveraging public/private resources and direct support to our partners in receipt of HUD’s Community Development Block Grant and other funding allocations under blue and gray skies.
