Requires Director of Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness to develop training program for first responders regarding protocols for responding to emergency in war zone.
This bill requires New Jersey's Director of Homeland Security to create a training program for first responders (including police, firefighters, and EMTs) on handling emergencies in war zones. The program must cover war-specific hazards like hazardous materials from attacks, treating wartime injuries, self-protection methods, and psychological impacts. It mandates that first responders complete this training biannually after the director develops it within 180 days of the law taking effect. The training must be developed with input from groups like the National Guard, emergency management coordinators, and medical associations. The bill aims to prepare responders for potential military attacks, citing global tensions in Ukraine and Taiwan as context.
