Training/Exercises

COML training provides federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) approved National Incident management System (NIMS) complaint instruction to ensure that every state/territory has trained personnel capable of coordinating on-scene emergency communications during a multi-jurisdictional response.
New York has held these courses throughout the State.

New York State participated in the second pilot of the COMT class in December 2009.
