NEW! EMI Transcript and Certificate Lookup
Overview
The National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC) is the principal vehicle through which Department of Homeland Security/FEMA National Preparedness Directorate (NPD) identifies, develops, tests and delivers training to state and local emergency responders.
The NDPC membership includes the members listed below and more than 75 additional partners that have received training grants from DHS to develop and/or deliver various courses. Each member brings a unique set of assets to the domestic preparedness program.
If you are interested in hosting one of the courses in Oklahoma, contact OKOHS to begin the process. OKOHS will assist with locating the training site and provide funding for the site, if needed. Once scheduled, OKOHS will market and complete the student registration process for the course for your jurisdiction.
OKOHS is looking for students and host sites for this great opportunity to receive some of the best training available. Most courses are available as a direct delivery (instructors travel to the Oklahoma and conduct courses) or as a resident delivery courses (students travel to the training site). With either delivery method, there is no cost for the instruction of the course.
