Training & Response


Bioterrorism Preparedness Training Unit (BPTU)

Our Mission

To provide quality information and training to key health care providers, government personnel, and our collaborative partners regarding Bioterrorism and other hazards.

Health care professionals and various workforce members who support them are being asked to assume new, challenging responsibilities and to function in unfamiliar ways.  A cultural "shift" is taking place in which health care workers are being cast as potential first responders to a wide variety of threatening circumstances.  This sweeping change cannot take place unless all health care workforce members receive timely, focused training.

Health Disaster Management's Training and Response provides trained instructors, an extensive library of material and experience in field exercises.  We help meet the preparedness needs of the Health Care Agency and our collaborative partners.
