We are committed to protecting the lives of the citizens of North Dakota and ensuring the safety of all within our communities. Knowledge and training prepare our emergency managers and first responders to accomplish this mission. The North Dakota Department of Emergency Services Training and Exercise Program coordinates a training and exercise program to prepare Emergency Management and emergency responders [including, but not limited to, law enforcement, fire services, emergency medical services, public health, healthcare providers, volunteer organizations, ND Emergency Management Support Team (EMST), whole community partners providing critical infrastructure services, and other state agencies] to manage a variety of natural, technological, and adversarial threats throughout all five mission areas—prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery.
