The Telecommunicators Role In Homeland Security

It is important for telecommunicators to realize that terrorism incidents can take place anywhere at anytime and, as with most other emergencies, telecommunicators will be the first to become aware that a possible terrorist event has occurred.

Telecommunicators play a vital role in recognizing terrorist incidents, especially while they are in progress. Terrorism events require specialized actions and telecommunicators will have to deal with a new set of circumstances, far different from the average structure fires, vehicle accidents and even HAZMAT incidents. This course will assist the telecommunicator in determining that a possible terrorist event has occurred and the appropriate response.

Basic Overview of Modern Terrorism Threats
Response to Specific Terrorism Incidents
Anatomy of a Terrorism Incident
BNICE
Syndromic Surveillance
Resources and Resource Coordination
ICS in Terrorism Response

Prerequisites:
