Since 2005, the ICWU Center for Worker Health and Safety Education and its union Consortium has developed and implemented disaster preparedness training programs for First Receivers, a Plume Software class, presented worker/community disaster programs and built a working relationship with FEMA in Louisiana and Mississippi through training their staff, contractors and local responders. In the process we have developed worker trainers who are delivering these programs with experienced Center staff and have the resources in place to expand these programs to a new Consortium partner, the United American nurses (UAN). The existing program has the staff, trainers, curriculum and equipment to deliver disaster training to many hundreds of workers to safely respond to the threat of chemical, biological and radiologic exposures from domestic terrorist attacks and natural disasters. This proposal builds on the last 5 years of disaster and terrorism training that has developed worker-trainers to teach Disaster courses, deliver Disaster training for a unique work force and work with other grantees to prepare for these events. Homeland Security Presidential Directive #8 clearly defines a training component of "preparedness to maximize the ability to prevent, respond to, and recover" from these events and states that a significant portion of these workers are in "public health and clinical care" areas. The proposed programs will prepare workers and worker-trainers to meet the National Preparedness Goals through the dissemination of lessons learned from September 11 and the Katrina disaster, combined with feedback from participants in First Receiver, Plume Software and FEMA classes, and years of HAZMAT training, best practices and information gathered through the years of interactive training based on direct worker experiences. The Council on Foreign Relations' report "Drastically Underfunded, Dangerously Unprepared" simply states "It is impossible to underestimate the need to prepare for this threat" (Appendix W). The NIEHS grantees as a whole have the opportunity to be one element in our nation's plan to prepare for catastrophic events by strengthening our emergency response training capabilities. The long term organizational goal of the ICWU Consortium is to expand and institutionalize disaster training programs within an established multi union national hazardous materials training Center. The three immediate educational goals are to deliver Mass Casualty First Receiver training to health care workers to protect themselves when they are exposed to victims; Chemical Plume Software programs to evaluate releases and Workplace Shelter in Place programs; a range of Disaster Preparedness programs to worker/community groups and FEMA. To reach these goals we will develop worker-trainers to assist in delivering disaster programs (First Receiver, Workplace Shelter in Place and Chemical Plume Software) and to build a number of joint projects with other NIEHS grantees. The long term educational goal of the Consortium is to provide students with the confidence, tools and problem solving skills to identify inadequacies in their hospitals' first receivers, emergency preparedness and shelter in place programs. Strategically, the ICWU Center is expanding the Consortium and workforce served by our training to include the United American Nurses. We will continue to evaluate our successes in making programmatic and institutional workplace improvements.

自 2005 年以来，ICWU 工人健康与安全教育中心及其工会联盟为第一批接收者制定并实施了备灾培训计划、Plume 软件课程，介绍了工人/社区灾难计划，并与路易斯安那州和密西西比州的 FEMA 建立了工作关系通过培训其员工、承包商和当地响应人员。在此过程中，我们培养了工人培训师，他们与经验丰富的中心工作人员一起提供这些计划，并拥有适当的资源将这些计划扩展到新的联盟合作伙伴美国护士协会 (UAN)。现有的计划拥有人员、培训师、课程和设备，可以为数百名工人提供灾难培训，以安全应对国内恐怖袭击和自然灾害造成的化学、生物和放射性暴露的威胁。 该提案以过去 5 年的灾难和恐怖主义培训为基础，培养了工人培训师来教授灾难课程，为独特的劳动力提供灾难培训，并与其他受赠者合作为这些事件做准备。国土安全部第 8 号总统指令明确定义了“做好准备，最大限度地提高预防、应对和恢复能力”的培训内容，并指出这些工作人员中很大一部分从事“公共卫生和临床护理”领域。拟议的计划将通过传播从 9 月 11 日和卡特里娜灾难中汲取的经验教训，结合 First Receiver、Plume Software 和 FEMA 课程参与者的反馈以及多年的 HAZMAT 培训，为工人和工人培训师做好准备，以实现国家备灾目标、通过多年基于工人直接经验的互动培训收集的最佳实践和信息。外交关系委员会的报告《资金严重不足，危险地毫无准备》简单地指出“不可能低估为这一威胁做好准备的必要性”（附录 W）。 NIEHS 受资助者作为一个整体，有机会通过加强我们的应急响应培训能力，成为我们国家为灾难事件做好准备的计划中的一员。 ICWU 联盟的长期组织目标是在已建立的多联盟国家危险材料培训中心内扩大灾害培训计划并使之制度化。三个直接的教育目标是向医护人员提供大规模伤亡第一接收者培训，以保护 当他们接触受害者时；用于评估释放和工作场所避难就地计划的化学羽流软件程序；为工人/社区团体和 FEMA 提供一系列备灾计划。为了实现这些目标，我们将培养工人培训师来协助实施灾难计划（First Receiver、工作场所避难所和化学羽流软件）并建立一些 与其他 NIEHS 受资助者的联合项目。该联盟的长期教育目标是为学生提供信心、工具和解决问题的技能，以识别医院第一批接收者、应急准备和就地避难计划的不足之处。从战略上讲，ICWU 中心正在扩大我们培训所服务的联盟和劳动力，将美国护士联合会纳入其中。我们 将继续评估我们在计划性和制度性工作场所改进方面所取得的成功。
