About The National Disaster Preparedness Training Center (NDPTC)
The NDPTC is a member of the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC), which was expanded in 2007 to address all-hazards capabilities by the addition of the University of Hawai`i. The NDPTC is authorized to develop and deliver training and educational programs related to homeland security and disaster management, with a specific focus on natural hazards, coastal communities, and the special needs and opportunities of islands and territories. The NDPTC actively engages internally with FEMA and the University of Hawai`i, as well as with external partners across the region to integrate the delivery of its trainings, products, and services.
The National Disaster Preparedness Training Center (NDPTC) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa is encouraging Hawaiʻi and other remote islands to flatten the curve of the fast-spreading COVID-19 by having safe and sanitary practices.
