Planning Curriculum Guidelines
The goal of the Planning Curriculum Guidelines is to enhance the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the broad spectrum of State, Tribal, Territory and local training audiences who develop or contribute to the development of local hazardous materials response plans. The curriculum is structured into three training levels based on general skill requirements of the training audience: Planning Orientation, Planning Essentials, and Planning Specialties. Planning Orientation focuses on general awareness of the planning requirements and process and is targeted for general audiences. Planning Essentials focuses on the minimum competencies needed to develop local response plans and is targeted for local planning team members. Planning Specialties focuses on advanced, specialized planning skills that are needed by selected personnel at the State, Tribal, Territory and local levels to provide specialized roles and services in the planning process.
The Planning Curriculum Guidelines are organized into the following subsections:
- General Training Issues-Planning and Prevention
- Planning Orientation
- Planning Essentials
- Planning Specialties
- Commodity Flow Study
- Capability Assessment
- Planning for Protective Actions
- Plan Implementation and Maintenance
- Facility Planning
- Planning for Public Education
