Emergency Response
(costs vary for ERP training, please contact RMP for a quote)

Is your organization ready for that one moment? If an emergency were to strike, would your staff know how to respond? Now that you have an ERP, you must train your staff on how to use it. This onsite training provides an unique opportunity not only for your organization to understand the ERP, but to make the ERP work for you. Training often reveals aspects of a response that weren't considered before and allows for the plan to be updated and molded to better fit your needs.

National Incident Management System (NIMS) Training 
The Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD-5) requires key emergency responders from federal, state, and local government agencies (including counties, cities, and special districts) to incorporate the National Incident Management System (NIMS) into their training curriculum and complete an online training course to comply with the directive. To meet this requirement, Risk Management Professionals is offering a training course designed to familiarize students with the NIMS and the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), which includes a comparison of the elements of each management system and a comprehensive review of the Incident Command System (ICS). This NIMS/SEMS/ICS Orientation Training not only provides students with a perspective on their role during an emergency, but also meets FEMA NIMS curriculum requirements and prepares students to take the online "IS-700 - National Incident Management System (NIMS), An Introduction" without additional instruction.

Interactive Classroom Emergency Response Plan (ERP) Familiarization and SEMS/ICS Training 
RMP will hold a four-hour workshop to familiarize key personnel on how to use and navigate the agency’s ERP and an overview on how their agency will interact with other agencies during a major event.

Tabletop Exercise 
This four-hour tabletop exercise is designed to go step-by-step through a standard emergency.  This will help define the rolls for key personnel and the responses to be taken in an emergency.  This exercise will create a benchmark for how to respond in future emergencies.

Full-Scale Multi-Agency Exercise 
This 8-hour exercise is designed to involve other agencies that would be involved during a major emergency.  A scenario will be developed that would require support from police, fire, utilities and other emergency departments.  During this exercise, personnel will be deployed into the field and the results of the scenario will be dependent on the Emergency Response Team.

Functional Exercise 
This six-hour exercise will be tailored to an agency’s specific needs and will allow an agency to run through a mock disaster.  A realistic scenario will be developed by RMP and the results will be dependent on the Emergency Response Team.  A thorough review and critique will be performed after the exercise to identify the agency’s response capabilities.

8-Hour HAZWOPER Refresher
