Training

The Region 6 Homeland Security Governing Board’s Training Committee is responsible for planning and developing a policy for training and providing a forum to deliver training to emergency preparedness council personnel, emergency operations center staff, governmental agencies, 1st responders, and other emergency services partners throughout Region 6.  The training is for “all hazards” emergency response requirements needed for natural disasters and specialized requirements related to terrorism.

 

The Training Committee has developed a Regional Training Plan and Procedures Policy for Region 6 that covers the training budget, training request process, authorized reimbursable expenses, approval process, and scheduling.  The West Michigan Shoreline Regional Development Commission has also recruited a Training Coordinator who coordinates training for the Training Committee. The Regional Training Plans and Procedures Policy is practical and flexible enough to accommodate a wide range of required training throughout Region 6.  All training activities are cleared through the Training Committee and the Michigan State Police Emergency Management/Homeland Security Division.

 

The training that is being provided through this program supports all emergency personnel in Region 6 and is consistent with the Federal & State Homeland Security Strategy, making Region 6 a safer place to live.
