The Capital Area Trauma Regional Advisory Council (CATRAC) will be hosting the ‘Medical Management of CBRNE Events,’ course on April 20th & 21st, 2022, at the Central Texas Council of Governments (COG) offices located at 2180 Main street, Belton, Texas, 76513. The course goes from 8:00am to 5:00pm each day. There is no cost to attend this course as it is funded by a grant through the National Preparedness Consortium (NDPC), the Department of Homeland Security & FEMA.

Course Description:

The Medical Management of CBRNE Events course provides a strong emphasis in developing a multi-discipline, whole-community team approach to planning, preparing, responding, managing and recovering from an event involving CBRNE agents, a coordinated complex terrorist attack (CCTA), an active shooter or other hazardous event. To reinforce this multi-discipline team approach, participants should optimally be from fire services, law enforcement, Emergency Medical Services (EMS)/hospital, public health, public works, and emergency management organizations.

Topics:

• Identifying threats and hazards in a hazardous/active threat environment.

• Using the RAPID-Care algorithm when responding to a hazardous/active threat environment.

• Personal protective equipment (PPE) and protective measures for the hazardous/active threat environment.

• Recognizing casualties exposed to a CBRNE agent.

• Decontamination considerations and treatment for casualties exposed to a CBRNE agent.

• Triage and medical management of casualties during a CBRNE, CCTA or violent event.

Participants will conduct hands-on training with human patient simulators (HPS) and other activities to reinforce course learning objectives.
