Description	This course will prepare hazardous materials (HazMat) teams within State and local emergency response agencies to conduct public safety operations at weapons of mass destruction (WMD) sites in a safe and efficient manner consistent with established crime scene/evidentiary guidelines established by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The course will challenge participants to develop a systematic approach to managing a WMD scene in which the public’s safety is at risk. The course evolves from traditional problem-based classroom activities into a series of scenario-based practical exercises.
