Course Catalog

This course provides the student with a basic comprehension of exterior security lighting to include definition, purpose, planning considerations, and application for the protection of Department of Defense (DOD) assets.

This course provides students with a comprehensive knowledge of Electronic Security Systems (ESS), subsystems, policy, baseline requirements for the design of an ESS to protect specific areas, and key planning considerations to implement an effective ESS.

"This course provides participants an understanding of the purpose and importance of Quarterly Reports. The topics addressed include: Quarterly Report Regulatory requirements, information captured on the Quarterly Report, what the Quarterly Report is used for, how to retrieve a Quarterly Report in LAPA, how to review a Quarterly Report for accuracy, and how to process a Quarterly Report in LAPA. Pre-requisite for this course is ""Louisiana Public Assistance (LouisianaPA.com) Overview.""

"This course is intended to introduce the Public Assistance Grants Management staff to the Quarterly Report Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Policy and Process manual. The Quarterly Report Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Policy and Process manual outlines the standard processes which are to be followed. By outlining standardized processes, this SOP Policy and Process manual will allow for consistency amongst the Grants Management staff in completing Quarterly Reports."

This training will focus on providing access to, information about and in-depth training on the RAPT. The RAPT is publicly available and provides actionable, insightful information about community demographics, resilience characteristics and future climate conditions. RAPT provides over 100 pre-loaded datasets of local population demographics, infrastructure, historic hazards, and real-time events in a simple format that non-GIS professionals can use.

In this Louisiana-specific training, attendees will receive background and overview information about RAPT, including information about FEMA’s Community Resilience Challenges Index (CRCI), participate in real-world scenarios and examine how these tools support analysis for all phases of emergency management. Attendees will also receive multiple demonstrations that show how easy-to-use and how powerful these tools are, including toggle on/off data layer lists, filter tools, incident area analysis, the population counter and ways to add in additional data.

Participants are HIGHLY encouraged to bring their laptops, as everyone will have ample time to explore RAPT for their specific jurisdiction. After the presentation and live demonstration, participants will also work though a mini-community profile and disaster event scenario that allows them to use RAPT to examine the impact to their jurisdiction and use various analysis tools in RAPT to answer some situational awareness questions related to a real-world scenario.

This training will engage participants in a real-world emergency management scenario to demonstrate how these complementary, free tools provide a holistic view of community resilience now and in the future while ensuring equity in decision making related to present disasters and future climate change conditions.

Basic Wildland Fire Orientation provides introductory information for personnel interested in wildland fire response. It consists of a short video which introduces topics such as personal preparedness and responsibility, mobilization, incident procedures, proper clothing and equipment, and living conditions in wildland fire camps.

There are also a series of optional units about these topics. These optional units go into greater depth for students who would like further information. Completion of the optional units is not required to receive a certificate of completion for the course.

"This course is designed to introduce fundamental safety concepts for participants. The Agency provides safety and health training for all employees. Safety courses emphasize hazard identification, avoidance, and control. Topics addressed include: introduction to safety, hazard identification and awareness, fall protection, basic ergonomics, electrical safety basics, hierarchy of hazard controls, personal injury, environmental, holiday safety tips, and emergency action plans. These courses help participants to understand their safety rights and responsibilities and what you can do to safeguard your own well-being on the job, both in your regular workplace and during deployments. This course must be completed quarterly. Each year, one of the four quarterly safety trainings is designated as GOHSEP's Safety & Security Annual Review training."

State Applicant Liaison Cross-training

A discussion of EHP processes and concerns in order to provide a better understanding of compliance and requirements. It is currently reserved for GOHSEP SALs to obtain clarification for any EHP related concerns.

Mass casualty triage is a critical skill. Although many systems exist to guide providers in making triage decisions, there is little scientific evidence available to demonstrate that any of the available systems have been validated. Furthermore, in the United States there is little consistency from one jurisdiction to the next in the application of mass casualty triage methodology. There are no nationally standardized categories or color designations.

SALT Triage is the product of a CDC Sponsored working group to propose a standardized triage method. The guideline, entitled SALT (sort, assess, life-saving interventions, treatment and/or transport) triage, was developed based on the best available science and consensus opinion. It incorporates aspects from all of the existing triage systems to create a single overarching guide for unifying the mass casualty triage process across the United States. SALT is compliant with the Model Uniform Core Criteria for Mass Casualty Triage currently contemplated as the proposed national standard for all mass casualty triage systems.
