New Web-Based Compendium Helps Officials Interested In Federal Terrorism Training
Release Date: November 7, 2003
Release Number: FNF-03-15
On Nov. 3, 2003, the Department of Homeland Security launched a searchable Web-based "Compendium of Federal Terrorism Training," a database originally developed by the Army in 1998 and significantly updated and redesigned by FEMA's Emergency Management Institute.
This new Web-based compendium provides state and local officials a single location to quickly and easily obtain detailed information on all terrorism training available from federal departments and agencies. Users can query the system for specific subject area, by department or agency, or alphabetically. They can also print out customized lists of training that meets specific requirements or even an entire database catalog. The compendium includes details such as course objectives, intended audience, how the training is delivered (in the field, at a training center, by distance learning), and how to enroll students or arrange for the training to be delivered in a particular jurisdiction.
The compendium serves as a tangible demonstration of the department's support for a single portal through which to state, local and tribal officials can access up-to-date and detailed information on federal terrorism-related training. The compendium can be reached at: www.FEMA.gov/compendium.
