Course Description:
The Surviving Bombing Incidents for Educators (SBIED), Mobile course provides educators (teachers and personnel working in school environments) with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform critical life-saving actions in the immediate aftermath of a bombing incident. Educators are presented with lectures, discussions, and demonstrations on the hazards and injuries associated with bombings; these activities culminate in a series of performance-based exercises designed to allow course participants to practice live-saving tactics, techniques, and procedures in bombing scenarios.

The SBIE, Mobile course is delivered on location by New Mexico Tech (NMT) Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC) instructors at any qualifying emergency personnel agency or educational organization in the US.
