Defining a TERT State Coordinator
NJTI Co Chairs met with TERT representatives from across the nation April 16 through April 19 at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth, GA. The Occupational Analysis workshop was hosted by GPSTC representatives to facilitate and offer guidance on the creation of an operations standards guide for a TERT State Coordinator. Those who attended shared a combined total of 189 years in emergency operations and 66 years in TERT participation. During the course of three days, attendees came together to define what a TERT state coordinator is, and to break down the position into several different components, while elaborating in great detail on the roles and duties for each given area. Categories from administrative tasks to deployment operations were outlined and critiqued.
With the combined knowledge of the group working together as one, the title of state coordinator was eventually outlined into five functioning categories, each indicating the specific duties and responsibilities. At the end of the three days, the foundation of the TERT state coordinator was drafted and a strong "job well done" was felt amongst the group.
Media Request Jim Tanner, TERT regional coordinator, is requesting pictures of TERT. He is working on putting together a recruitment/motivational video. Please send him any action deployment shots (of the disaster and the TERT team in action) and classroom shots of new members and leaders.
Any help would be much appreciated. Please send items to the following email jimt@williamson-tn.org.
