    The National Response Team
    TheNational Response Team consists of 16 federal agencies with interests and expertise in various aspects of emergency response to pollution incidents. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) serves as chair and the Coast Guard serves as of the NRT. The NRT is primarily a national planning, policy and coordinating body and does not respond directly to incidents. The NRT provides policy guidance prior to an incident and assistance as requested by an On-Scene Coordinator via a Regional Response Team during an incident. NRT assistance usually takes the form of technical advice, access to additional resources/equipment or coordination with other RRTs. bulletNRT-1: Hazardous Materials Planning Guide (pdf/765 KB) bulletNRT-2 document "Developing a Hazardous Materials Exercise Program - A Handbook for State and Local Officials"
    ALOHA Training Materials
    ALOHA is the air model developed by NOAA and used within CAMEO. The following two files on this web page correspond to the ALOHA Two Day Training Course - Instructor Manual. One file provides the presentation slides (PDF) for the course (originally in PowerPoint). Another file is suggested text to be used by the instructor (originally in Word). The text includes script notes and detailed script. Script notes are abbreviated course instructions for every session. They would be used by the instructor as a quick reference guide. The script notes are followed by detailed scripts that are intended to cover the course in detail and are suitable for an instructor who is not familiar with the ALOHA application and training materials. Some of the detailed script goes along with the slides. The sections of detailed script associated with the slides will have a number that correspond with a number on the presentation slides. There is also azipped version (zip file) containing the 2 files. In the near future, an ALOHA Student Workbook will accompany the instructor manual on the web.
