COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Homemade Explosives: Awareness, Recognition, and Response course is designed to provide emergency first responders with the skills to recognize and respond to incidents involving Homemade Explosives (HME) through lectures and exercises.

Emergency first responders are presented with information necessary to recognize HME precursors, HME manufacturing indicators, and HME exposure indicators, and determine pre-detonation and post-detonation response strategies.

Throughout this course, emergency first responders discuss how to implement safe response strategies with recognizing the presence of HME indicators; understanding these response actions is critical to mitigating the hazards associated with HME.
