New Hampshire staffers recently took part in a weeklong training session in disaster response, according to an article on the Union Leader website.
The trip was sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) and is part of the work being done in New Hampshire for the Hospital Preparedness Program.
Coordination of the effort is part of an ongoing partnership between the New Hampshire Hospital Association (NHHA), the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Department of Safety.
"It's a unique situation," Capt. Bob Pragoff of the state's Department of Safety, Division of Fire Standards & Training and EMS, said in the article. "We've sent individuals down to Alabama before for training sessions, but a group of this size, all traveling, learning and training together, this is the first time we've done anything like this."
The classes, held at the Center for Domestic Preparedness in Anniston, Ala., focused on response at the operational level and decision-making and incident command at the managerial level.
