OUR ROLE IN NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS

The National Emergency Response and Rescue TrainingCenter(NERRTC), a founding member of the National Domestic PreparedConsortium (NDPC), has been preparing state and local ofcials and emergency

responders to prevent and respond to acts of terrorism and other disasters since

1998. NERRTC is a Center within the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service

TEEX), a member of The Texas A&M University System and draws upon more than 75 years of experience in developing and deliveringraining for emergency responders.

hrough funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, NERRTC delivers a comprehensive set of courses and workshops to emerg

esponders, senior ofcials, public works staff, and medical personnel. Courses are developed and led by homeland security experts across

ountry, many of whom responded to, or managed, some of the most signicant incidents on records, including the 9/11 terrorist attacks on

World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Building, the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, as well as Hurricane

atrina, Rita, and Ike.

essons learned from these and other disasters are incorporated into NERRTC training to ensure the Nations responders, ofcials, and other

isaster-response groups are ready when large-scale disasters strike. NERRTC addresses the whole community by collaborating with all leve

f government and conducts training online, at local and tribal jurisdictions, as well as at TEEXs Emergency Operations Training Center (EOT

NERRTC equips communities to be resilient in times of adversity. NERRTC courses and programs contribute signicantly to national preparedriorities and support congressional intent for the NDPC to expand its capacity and address future CBRNE/terrorism and all-hazards relate

raining demands. NERRTC continues to enhance courses based upon the training needs of emergency responders.

NERRTC training efforts are supported by four TEEX operational training divisions:

Emergency Services Training Institute

Infrastructure Training and Safety Institute

Public Safety and Security

Knowledge Engineering

ach TEEX division has experience and expertise in developing and delivering competency-based training that enables NERRTC to continu

rovide quality training within the homeland security and national preparedness community. By leveraging the top experts in preparedne

The NDPC is comprised of seven nationally recognized organizations in the eld of homeland security and

emergency response training. Each member addresses the urgent need for counter-terrorism preparedness of

the Nations emergency rst responders within the context of all-hazards natural or manmade including

chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).

Since its establishment by Congress in 1998, the NDPC has delivered rigorous, targeted preparedness trainingin all 50 states, ve U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia, helping jurisdictions achieve their goals of

protecting their citizens, property and economic livelihood. Millions of responders at every level have beneted

from this comprehensive and coordinated training. Each year, the consortiums programs meet the training

and education needs of tens of thousands of emergency responders and state, local, and tribal government

employees and ofcials. The NDPC applies its expertise in academics, curriculum development, eLearning, and

adult instructional techniques to produce DHS/FEMA-certied training courses that address the most critical

needs of the emergency response community.

The goal of the consortium is to provide a threat-responsive, long-term national capability. This capability

will be attained through weapons of mass destruction emergency rst responder training, test and exercise

programs.

Our customerstold us that they needed expanded options when it came to pricing and purchasing training fromTEEX/NERRTC. They spoke, we listened. In response to a growing demand for our courses, we are pleased to

provide two options to better serve the customer.

Excess Delivery Acquisition Program (EDAP)

DHS/FEMA has authorized the TEEX/NERRTC to utilize the Excess Delivery Acquisition Program (EDAP). EDAP

deliveries are available at cost to our targeted audience in excess of what funding will normally allow us

to deliver. Typically, TEEX/NERRTC courses are provided at no cost to personnel working for agencies and

organizations within our targeted audience. However, we do not have enough funding to allow us to provide a

limitless supply of training. If the alloted DHS/FEMA-funded deliveries available are met or exceeded and more

deliveries of a requested course are needed, TEEX/NERRTC can utilize the EDAP to deliver the requested course(s)

at cost to the requesting entity. Private sector agencies or organizations are also eligible to participate in EDAP.

For more information about the EDAP and how to enroll, contact TEEX/NERRTC through the course-specic contact

numbers or email addresses.

The General Services Administration (GSA) Pricing AdvantageGSA establishes long-term government-wide contracts with approved entities to

provide services at discount pricing. Price reduction, based on an awarded GSA

contract, is at the core of the GSA Schedule. State and local government entities

may use GSA to purchase products and services and benet from the extended

reduced pricing. TEEX/NERRTC is currently an approved vendor on GSA Schedule

84 (Contract GS-07F-0357V).

To request a course delivery with the GSA pricing advantage, please contact TEEX/NERRTC through the course-

specic contact numbers or email addresses. When TEEX/NERRTC receives your request, we will provide an

estimate of the course delivery cost. If that cost estimate is acceptable, TEEX/NERRTC will submit the cost estimate

to DHS/FEMA to request their approval. Once DHS/FEMA approval is received, TEEX/NERRTC will coordinate

scheduling for delivery of the course(s).

TEEX is an authorized provider for the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET).

As a provider, TEEX/NERRTC offers Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to students that complete training. The

number of CEUs per course is 0.1 CEU per hour of training. (ex. 16 course hours = 1.6 CEUs) One CEU equals

ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education and training experience, delivered under

responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualied instruction. IACET CEUs are recognized by learners,

instructors, regulators and employers worldwide and can only be awarded by IACET Authorized Providers. This

distinction assures employers, credentialing associations, licensing bodies and others that a learner has completed

a quality program that meets the national standard for continuing education and training. Some courses carrycontinuing education credits for activity that was approved by the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA), an

accredited approver of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Centers Commission

on Accreditation, or the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) as well as the Texas Department of State

Health Services /EMS (DSHS/EMS).

In addition, there are 12 courses in the TEEX/NERRTC program that are recommended for college credit through

the American Council on Education (ACE) and included in the ACE National Guide for College Credit for Workforce

Training at www.acenet.edu. Each approved course carries a recommendation for the appropriate level andnumber of credit hours and is indicated with the course description. (ex. Lower Division = LD, Upper Division = UD,

Hours = 1 or 2)
