Preparing Public Safety Staff for Emergencies on Campus

Sarah DeLaus, a full-time security guard with the Department of Public Safety, recently completed training with the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CPD) in Anniston, Alabama.  The CDP is operated by the United States Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).  It is the CDP’s mission to develop and deliver advanced training for emergency response providers, emergency managers, and other government officials from state, local, and tribal governments.  CDP courses focus on incident management, mass casualty response, and emergency response to a catastrophic natural disaster or terrorist event.  All training at the CDP Campus is federally funded, with no cost to attending government agencies.  Responders participating in CDP training gain critical skills and confidence to respond effectively to local incidents or potential cataclysmic events.  Combined with the Masters in Emergency Management from CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice she has almost completed, Sarah is preparing to assist Public Safety’s Emergency Manager, Chuck DiSalvo, to respond to any emergency incident, whether here at the College or within the local community. 

Congratulations Sarah!
