Weapons of Mass DestructionPlanning for School Bomb Incidents, Haz-Mat Operations Training and Civilian Mass Casualty Decon
For all classes Incident Response to Terrorist BombingsThere is no way to predict when and where the next terrorist attack will occur. The day before the Oklahoma City Bombing, very few people would have believed that an attack would occur there. Now, everyone should realize that virtually any location in the U.S. could be targeted. It is important that first responders understand that all terrorists are not from other countries. They can be as close as living next door to you. Potential targets for terrorist attacks are largely based on a particular terrorist group’s objectives and capabilities. Topics Covered
WMD Awareness/Civilian Mass Casualty DeconUtilize new standards developed by Homeland Security. Target Audience

Understanding and Planning for School Bomb Incidents (UPSBI) is an awareness level course for first responders. UPSBI will provide you with the tools and information needed to develop or assess an existing school bomb incident response plan. Target Audience
A certificate from New Mexico Tech will be presented upon successful completion of the course. Hazardous Materials Operations Level TrainingPracticing safe techniques for controlling Hazardous Run-off by using proper diking, damming, underflow and overflow dams. This is a six-hour class that reviews and practices run-off control. The class will include a short “in-class” lecture, followed by practicing several techniques in controlling run-off. It is the hope that all persons participating will understand and be able to practice safe techniques that will allow a hazardous operationally trained individual ways to control and isolate hazardous run-off without being involved in the project.
