Airports, schools, hospitals and other health care facilities, nursing homes, nuclear and other power plants, all agencies and facilities which fall under the coverage of SARA title III. Terrorism is an escalating threat to America and the world therefore we will provide terrorist courses and include terrorism in many of our other programs. Intelligence is also a key to understanding terrorism and can help detect, disrupt and head off attacks and is also embedded in our curriculum. IEPC is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping make the world a safer place though education and training. Emergency Management Response Specialist Emergency Management Response Specialist are available during real events to help advise and consult during a real crisis. EMRS’s also provide help in disaster recovery, assistance and aid following major disaster and emergency declarations. Upon request IEPC will dispatch a team (of two) Emergency Management Response Specialist (EMRS) to your EOC or ICC to advise and consult during an emergency in your jurisdiction. These specialist have hands on global experience in managing world disasters for the past 20 years including.
Counter Anti-Terrorism and Executive Protection As our world continues to get smaller and democracy continues to grow; terrorists and criminals continue to target the smallest entrepreneur to the largest corporate executive. IEPC is indeed fortunate to have available experts with years of experience tracking, observing and countering terrorist actions bent on kidnapping, violence and destruction. Projects successfully completed include protecting the Presidents and other leaders of private industry and governments around the world; training police forces and special government and private agents globally. Our experts have covertly tracked terrorist activities in the Middle East; participated in multi-national security operations and trained security forces assigned to protect the highest priority resources owned by America. The radical Hezbollah and Hamas groups are not the only terrorists we must consider. We painfully learned in Oklahoma City and New York; America is no longer safe from terrorist attacks. Medical Clinics in the South, a skyscraper in the East, night clubs in Germany or an aircraft over Scotland; we know the cowardly acts of the demented and the religious fanatic know no boundaries. Yet, everyday some walk in harms way oblivious to becoming a target or fails to understand security requirements that can save their lives. IEPC specializes in the following security training areas:

Terrorism Planning, Emergency Response As the World Trade Center II attack and Oklahoma City bombing so clearly remind us, terrorism is a critical concern, threatening society and showing our vulnerability. Unfortunately, very few governments let alone the private sector are adequately prepared to deal effectively with this world - wide problem, due largely to an insufficient understanding of terrorism. IEPC’s popular Terrorism Course offers timely and relevant training to public safety and private sector professionals. Today’s course is as up to date as today’s headlines, and our forecasts have been consistently accurate. This course concentrates on arming planners, responders, investigators and managers with the information they need to accurately assess the real terrorist threat to their communities or businesses, to understand the planned response of local, state and federal agencies, and to identify how they can prepare for, prevent, or respond to terrorist incidents. This course also focuses on terrorist’s acts and there resulting havoc and disaster, along with emergency management response and mitigation of such events. Definitions of terrorism, and analysis of various domestic terrorist events, as well as attacks on US assets and facilities on foreign soil, the terrorist tools of B-NICE-C and WMD will be addressed.

Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) Citizens To Prepare For, Deal With, And Recover From Major Emergencies What is a Community Emergency Response Team? u A “CERT” is a group of people that is organized and receives special training that enhances their ability to recognize, respond to, and recover from a major emergency or disaster situation. u The CERT is organized under the leadership of the local jurisdiction, industry or organization. u They are trained by IEPC Instructors with extensive emergency responders and emergency management experience and the course will teach in those areas that will help cert members take care of themselves and others before, during, and after a major emergency. u As an organized team, they can provide vital services in the absence of emergency responders, whose arrival may be delayed due to the scope of the event. u When a major emergency overwhelms normally available resources, response delays of hours or even days may occur; someone with “basic skills training” should be able to immediately assist those in distress. What Substantiates The Need For A CERT ? Various reports of “Lessons Learned” from different disasters including the most recent weather disasters; Hugo in 1989, Andrew in 1992 and the “Unnamed Storm of 1993”. One study of particular impact was released in June, 1990 by the Urban Institute of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte on the Lessons Learned from Hurricane Hugo. Hugo struck Charlotte after traveling 200 miles inland while maintaining hurricane force winds that did damage estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Excerpts of the Study are quoted – “Emergency plans must find ways to incorporate citizens, a tremendous resource.....find ways to increase citizen participation” – “More training in emergency response is needed, not only for public employees, but for all segments of the community.” – “Identify ways to create neighborhood contacts or teams to help in an emergency....” – “Identify priority agencies and businesses to be assisted in regaining operation....Grocery stores and banks may need greater attention and assistance from government than previously recognized.” – “Special attention needs to be directed to poorer neighborhoods....poor citizens have fewer personal financial resources to help recover from an emergency...” – “Find ways to incorporate and to legitimize citizen involvement in emergency response...” – “Conduct more training for emergencies, especially for personnel working in group facilities such as schools, jails and senior centers.” – “Explore ways to get information to employees about the safety of their families in an emergency. One of the key factors related to keeping any employee on the job...is knowledge about the safety of the family.” – “Establish a business emergency response committee to plan coordinated assistance from business to the community.” – “Devise ways to get services out to needy citizens in a more timely manner.” “Contact neighborhood associations prior to an emergency to identify neighborhood volunteers.” What Major Emergencies Could Affect Your community, Jurisdiction or business? · Weather Emergencies • Terrorist attacks • Transportation Incidents affecting large populations u Major Fire in a High Rise, or Any large area building such as a Hotel, Office Building, Retirement Community or Hospital. * Large Nuclear, biological or chemical incident. – – Any major accident could create a mass casualty incident or the need to move a large number of people out of harm’s way in a very short period of time. – – Other major emergencies can range from wide area flooding to a war attack. Each jurisdiction must prepare for each of these possibilities through their Emergency Management efforts. Public education and citizen involvement appear to be the most aggressive method of “disaster mitigation” available and almost always overlooked by authorities. What Part Do The CERT Team Members Play? u Properly Trained, They Would: – – Be Better Prepared to deal with events that might otherwise seem overwhelming. – Recognize The Potential Hazards associated with a particular type of event and take appropriate action. – Take Steps To Get To Safety and/or help others to do so in a more organized fashion. – Assume A Leadership Role with those who are not trained to deal with the event. – Administer First Aid and/or Triage techniques. – – Perform light search and rescue tasks – Identify, Organize, and Utilize Available Resources. – Perform Needs Assessment, document and communicate to local authorities. – Assist Others With The Emotional Distress associated with major emergencies and disaster conditions. – Allow Better Allocation Of Emergency Resources by being more capable of “sizing-up” a situation and properly advising emergency responders.
