RDPC Emergency Responder Training Courses
The Institute for Homeland Security and Workforce Development partnered with the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium (RDPC) in 2007 when North Carolina Central University was selected as one of six academic partners to prepare rural emergency responders nationwide for all-hazards incidents. Congress and the Department of Homeland Security established the RDPC to develop and deliver all-hazards training in support of rural homeland security requirements. Led by the Center for Rural Development (CRD), the consortium is comprised of academic partners that possess extensive experience and unique capabilities in serving the rural emergency community.
