Hazmat Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP)

这两个目标人群有共同的接触化学品的潜力和 灾害应对行动期间的其他事故危险，从而产生负面的健康和安全后果。根据OSHA的危险废物操作和紧急反应标准(29 CFR 1910.120)，这两个群体都必须接受危险材料紧急反应培训 或40 CFR 311)。在最近几年。国家事故管理系统(NIMS)的任务规定和国家应急框架(NRF)的制定导致了对所有类型紧急情况的全国性准备办法，重申了第一反应人员在应对灾害中的关键作用。不幸的是，用于备灾援助的联邦资金尚未到位，数额不足以满足急救人员的培训需求。如上所述，本提案所针对的人群的培训预算通常不足以满足培训需求。 通过所附的支持函，特别是在需要旅行接受培训的情况下。目前的经济衰退已经严重侵蚀了每个人口提供这一急需的培训的能力，因此，拟议的合作协议变得更加重要。

The two target populations have in common their potential for exposures to chemicals and other incident hazards during disaster response operations with resultant negative health and safety outcomes. Both populations are required to have hazardous materials emergency response training under OSHA's Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response standard (29 CFR 1910.120 or 40 CFR 311). In recent years. National Incident Management System (NIMS) mandates and development of the National Response Framework (NRF) have resulted in a nationwide approach to preparedness for all types of emergencies that reaffirms the crifical role of first responders in dealing with disasters. Unfortunately, federal funds for preparedness assistance have not reached first responders in amounts sufficient to meet their needs for training. The populations targeted by this proposal typically have training budgets that are insufficient to meet the training needs, as indicated by the attached letters of support, particulariy when travel is required to receive training. The current economic downturn has significanfiy eroded each population's ability to provide this much needed training and therefore makes the proposed cooperative agreement even more important.
