Emergency Response Training (ERT) Seminar Overview

The ERT seminars are conducted nationwide to reach emergency responders and planners in the 10 Federal Regions. A core program delivered over one day is augmented by specifically designed presentations tailored to regional participant requirements. The seminar provides an overview of current and future telecommunication services and capabilities for use during disasters and emergencies. Course content varies depending on regional participant requirements and always includes information on emergency plans and activities with regard to:

• National resources including the Federal Response Plan (FRP), Emergency Support Function (ESF) #2 (Communications), and National Coordinating Center for Telecommunications (NCC) support
  
  
• Regional emergency operations and telecommunication services
  
  
• Future topics to be covered are: terrorism incidents; information assurance; and infrastructure protection.
  In addition to providing training, the seminar facilitates the development of working relationships among telecommunications emergency responders. During the seminar, participants discuss essential process and procedures and share their experiences on emergency response and operations coordination. Throughout the one day program, seminar participant interaction is emphasized, participants are encouraged to "agree to disagree," with a primary goal of facilitating communication.
