Training 02 :
Building essential response capabilities nationwide requires a systematic program to train individual teams and organizations - to include governmental, nongovernmental, privatesector, and voluntary organizations - to meet a common baseline of performance and certification standards. Professionalism and experience are the foundation upon which successful response is built. Rigorous, ongoing training is thus imperative.25 Individuals and teams, whether paid or volunteer, should meet relevant local, tribal, State, Federal, or professional qualifications, certifications, or performance standards. Content and methods of training must comply with applicable standards and produce required skills and measurable proficiency. FEMA and other organizations offer response and incident management training in online and classroom formats. (DHS, National Response Framework, Jan 2008, 31)
