Emergency Responders and Emergency Managers:
I hope you, your families and departments members are safe and healthy. Thank you for your efforts to protect your communities.
As part of our nation’s critical infrastructure, BNSF Railway continues to make sure all the goods that you, your family and communities needs are delivered safely.
As you know, BNSF provides “Railroad Response Hazmat Training” to community responders at no cost. To ensure your responders and BNSF’s Hazmat Team remain healthy, we have canceled all our instructor-led classes through August 31st. It is likely we will expand the cancelations through the fall.
Therefore, we have been conducting webinars every Wednesday that will allow community responders to learn how to safely and efficiently respond to railroad hazardous materials incidents at home or at their station. So far, we trained more than 2,700 first responders through these webinars with almost 200 responders participating in each session. Feedback from participants have rated the webinars as excellent. As the result of the feedback we have received from our “Wednesday Hazmat Webinar” we have added additional webinar topics. Starting on August 19th our scheduled webinar topics will include:
• Railcar Knowledge for First Responders
• Locomotive Awareness and Response
• Initial Response for First Responders
I highly recommend that those planning to participate in these newly added webinars first participate in one of the Railroad Emergency Response/Hazmat Awareness webinars.
These webinars are free, will be approximately 90 minutes, and held at the following times:
 To participate, register here.
In April, the Department of Transportation authorized BNSF to use an electronic hazardous material (hazmat) document instead of paper documents. We have posted a video on electronic train lists and communication with responders here.
Please feel free to forward this message to any of your team members.
Finally, if you want to continue to receive information on BNSF’s emergency response training, exercises and changes that can affect emergency responders, please take time to sign up to our communications list here.

| AWR-351 REP Post Plume Awareness Course - FEMA | 01/12/2021 - 9:00am to 01/13/2021 - 2:00pm | Virtual Led Training | Scott Hallett scott.hallett@fema.dhs.gov James Rashilla james.rashilla@nebraska.gov (402) 471-7420 |
The Purpose of this Course The FEMA/NPD/THD/Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program has developed an instructor-led course that will help Federal, State, tribal and local emergency managers and planners more effectively meet the challenges presented to the emergency responder community during a radiological incident at an NRC-licensed commercial nuclear power plant (NPP).
The main purpose for this awareness-level AWR-351 REP Post-Plume Awareness Course (RPPA) is to provide a precise training track which focuses on the unique considerations of the 50-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ), Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) responsible for addressing the implementation of precautionary measures and protective actions relating to “exposure” and “ingestion” interventions during the Post-Plume (Intermediate) phase of a radiological incident from a NRC-licensed commercial nuclear power plant (NPP). The instructional delivery is designed to create a collaborative training environment, support discussions on the vertical and horizontal integration of emergency operation plans and implementation procedures between neighboring OROs and governmental authorities and provide best-practices and lessons-learned solutions to emergency planning.
The primary target audience is the REP offsite response organizations (OROs) within the 10 to 50-mile EPZ who usually do not write their own plans but rely on State agency plans to identify procedures and capabilities to be implemented during a radiological incident that affects their jurisdiction. A secondary target audience is Federal, State, local, utility, and tribal emergency managers and planners responsible for emergency operations plans and implementation procedures concerning ingestion protective actions response capabilities within the 0 to 50-mile ingestion exposure pathway EPZ. Other beneficial parties: personnel from supporting agencies involved in response to a radiological incident at an NRC-licensed commercial NPP.
