“This 8-hour, tuition-free training opportunity is provided by The University of

Findlay's All Hazards Training Center (AHTC) on behalf of The Center for Rural

Development (CRD), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and the

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (DOT PHMSA). The

purpose of this awareness-level, instructor-led course is to bring together rural

pipeline security stakeholders including public safety, oil and gas pipeline

representatives (large and small), local emergency planners, pertinent federal

agencies, and other community stakeholders to recognize pipeline security

threats and identify mitigation strategies within their jurisdictions to ensure that

the rural pipeline sector is secure and resilient.

The course will include various participant scenario-based activities to ensure

that the nation’s emergency responders are able to work seamlessly with

private industry and the various federal agencies that would respond to an

attack on the nation’s pipeline system. The course objectives will enhance the

participants’ mitigation, response, and recovery capabilities through both

classroom instruction and in scenario-based training activities. This format will

promote greater understanding and collaboration among parties responsible for

pipeline security, and will enhance operational capabilities between the many

partners in response to a rural pipeline security incident.

Topics covered in this course include the following:

Pipeline Components

• Review of Pipeline Security Incidents and Terrorism Against Pipelines

• Regulations and Federal Guidelines Applicable to the Pipeline System

• Current Security Threat Protocols

• Collaborative Response Protocols (Scenario-Based)

Who should attend:

• All First Responders (especially Law Enforcement & Fire Service

Professionals)

• Pipeline Industry Stakeholders

• Community Emergency Management Personnel

• Security Infrastructure Personnel

• Public Works Professionals
