Description

The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services in partnership with the Virginia Department of Emergency Management is pleased to announce this two-day “Medical Preparedness & Response for Bombing Incidents” course presented by Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX).

This course is intended for members of emergency response as well as other city and county services that become a part of a community response to a bombing incident.

  • Explosive Characteristics and Behaviors  
  • Homemade Explosives
  • Pre-attack Indicators
