Honolulu Community College and the National Disaster Training Preparedness Training Center (NDPTC) partnered to offer a Security Management training session for administration of justice students and security professionals. Participants who successfully completed the training earned a nationally recognized Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) certificate.

“I felt the training was great because I learned how to assess man-made disasters. I also learned how to deal with cascading events and how to safely prepare and react to them. The instructors were very professional and intelligent. I learned a lot from them,” shared student Kaipo Yamamoto.

The NDPTC is authorized to develop and deliver training and educational programs related to homeland security and disaster management, with a specific focus on natural hazards, coastal communities and the special needs and opportunities of islands and territories.
