Agriculture Emergency Responder Training (AgERT)
The WMD Basic Agricultural Emergency Response Training course is a 32-hour course that provides the responder with an overview of agro terrorism and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, or Explosive (CBRNE) hazards, relative to their potential impact upon agricultural resources and the agricultural community.

Hands-on training provides knowledge and skills in selecting and using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), conducting decontamination, using survey and monitoring equipment, and preserving the crime scene. The course culminates with a scenario-oriented, task-driven, hands-on practical exercise involving a response to a hazardous event in an agricultural setting.
