Click here for the Feb 2007, Presentation to the Homeland Security & Defense Education Consortium
On July 19, 2006, CW productions hosted a seminar for the Homeland Security Institute of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs, CO. Titled “Disaster and Terror in Colorado: The National Response Plan”, the seminar offered a bottom-up look at the federal blueprint for responding to catastrophe. Employing a combination of lecture, video, and exercises, CW Productions presented a general overview of the NRP followed by a detailed examination of the plan’s response to both natural and manmade catastrophes by analyzing specific applications to a terrorist radiological attack, pandemic influenza, and urban wild-land fire in Colorado Springs. The program culminated in a large-scale group exercise where 100 participants engaged in a simulated National Incident Management System and competed to save lives and protect property.
Selected Comments
- Very well done. I attended a couple of other training sessions at NORTHCOM and I found this to be much more valuable and current. I have also read all the new NRP/Katrina documents, and this put everything into perspective very well.
- Very polished and professional
- This was a good seminar. Please continue. The more information and training we can get, the better our community will be prepared.
- Superb seminar – well worth my company’s time and money – and my time too!
- The instructor was very knowledgeable. Nice commonsense approach. Great job.
- Well organized. Outstanding speaker, handouts, and resources. A very valuable seminar in today’s climate of terrorism, pandemic flu, etc.
- Learned a lot about the NRP and how Federal support is provided. Enjoyed the exercise a lot – good learning experience
- The exercise was energizing. I enjoyed the hands-on approach.
- The final practical exercise was the best table-top exercise I’ve seen.
