Plain-English Summary

The Department of Homeland Security would establish new standards and accreditation requirements for basic training programs that prepare emergency responders and disaster management personnel. This would help ensure that first responders, emergency managers, and other DHS-trained personnel receive consistent, high-quality instruction across different training facilities and regions. The changes would affect emergency management agencies, training institutions, and the emergency response workforce nationwide.
