NJLearn also has the capability to mass registered users to direct their attention to new training events and other topics of concern. This ensures that first responders are made aware of important training information in a timely and efficient manner. Additionally, the OHSP routinely develops short on-line roll call training thus providing the opportunity to produce and promptly deliver updated information. This is an important step toward training first responders on new and emerging threats, safety issues and other mandatory requirements. Due to the ongoing development of on-line courses, please be sure to check the NJLearn Website for the most up to date information at C1

36 DHS COURSES SECTION D: National Domestic Preparedness Consortium

37 The National Domestic Preparedness Consortium What is the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC)? The National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC) is the principal vehicle through which the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identifies, develops, tests, and delivers training to state and local emergency responders. The NDPC membership includes five training sites: Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) in Anniston, Alabama; the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMIMT); Louisiana State University (LSU); Texas A&M (TEEX); and, the Department of Energy s Nevada Test Site (NTS). Each member brings a unique set of assets to the federal domestic preparedness training program. A list of each of the Consortium s expertise can be found on the following pages. What is the role of the New Jersey s Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness? The New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (OHSP) Training Bureau has been recognized by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as the training State Administrative Agent (SAA) for NJ. In an effort to develop an environment of inclusiveness and transparency in this training arena, OHSP will be the single point of contact between DHS and NJ local, county and state agencies requesting DHS funded training, including the NDPC program. As new courses are developed and catalogs are updated, OHSP will send announcements via to the County Working Groups for distribution to their first responder community. This homeland security training offered through DHS can also assist county prosecutors and law enforcement personnel in their efforts to identify and develop the situational awareness required to protect the critical infrastructure unique to their jurisdiction. Although the NDPC focuses on first responder training (law enforcement, fire safety, EMS) there are however, courses that may be of interest to the public sector either through the NDPC and DHS designated training partners (see Section E). Want more information? For additional information regarding the NDPC program and additional training partners, or to find out how to successfully apply for a course of interest, please go to the DHS Consortium site at where you will find a link for each training site.
