Free online WMD classes
American Red Cross - DHS

The American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles is part of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pilot program to bring awareness and provide training about the unique challenges and environments that all of us would face in providing essential human services during a Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) event, and how such an event would differ from a natural disaster response.

Thirty metro areas across the country were selected to participate in this program, including Los Angeles.

The training program consists of six web-based courses, each focusing on a specific aspect of the human services response during a disaster.

All of these courses are available to you at no cost.

To register for the courses, visit http://www.dhs-ngo-pilot.org/ and follow the instructions.

Please note the Computer Requirements to View Courses on the right side of the page.

**NOTE**: Please create a new ID for the DHS Pilot even if you already have a student ID that you are using for American Red Cross training courses. The DHS courses are part of a Pilot Program sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security and should be separate from your American Red Cross training record.

When you are taking a course, you must leave a browser window with a title "Plateau Student Access" open, or your test scores won't be calculated or recorded.
