11th annual Tribal Nations Training Week 2026

The 11th annual Tribal Nations Training Week is a weeklong training event intended for state, local, tribal, and territorial responders who work in an emergency response capacity and are affiliated with one or more tribal nations or the Indian Health Service. For the first time, this year's event will include a course track with entry into the CDP's Chemical, Ordnance, Biological and Radiological Training Facility (COBRATF), the only site in the nation where civilian responders can train with toxic chemical agents and biological materials. The 2026 Tribal Nations Training Week will feature courses across 10 separate tracks: Cyber, Healthcare Leadership, Healthcare Emergency Response, Hazardous Materials, Law Enforcement, Community Safety (EMERGE), Tribal Emergency Operations Planning (COOP/EOP), Executive, Explosives, and Incident Command. The Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) will incorporate training from its partners, including FEMA, the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium, and the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium. CDP training is fully funded for eligible state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency responders, covering roundtrip airfare, meals, and lodging.
