HazMat/CBRN Planning and Operations for Special Events Joint

This course will help prepare hazardous materials technicians and CBRN operators to serve on a Joint Hazard Assessment Team (JHAT) at special events including sporting events, parades, dignitary visits, festivals, ceremonies, and other mass-gatherings. 

The training will cover planning considerations and operational guidance to prepare JHAT members to respond to HazMat/CBRN threats, hoaxes, and accidents that can disrupt or endanger an event. Participants will learn small-unit tactics, including dismounted operations and ATV/UTV based response operations to perform threat investigations, adjudication, mitigation, and communications. 

This course can be expanded to include integrated JHAT operations with public safety bomb squads, SWAT teams, tactical/event EMS providers.
