The Disaster Logistics Specialist course is 40 hours, five days in length, and it is designed to provide the participants with the foundational knowledge, skills and abilities to perform logistics function during a disaster or a planned event. Keeping an all-risk environment in mind, this course exposes the student to essential requirements of providing support, re-supply, transportation, sustenance and maintenance of a disaster or planned event equipment and the personnel. TEEX makes every effort to ensure consistent terminology and training within the discipline of the Incident Command System and the National Incident Management System. Therefore it explores all six of the logistics section unit functions and their respective interactions and responsibilities.
Jurisdictions that receive Department of Homeland Security funding from their SAA (e.g. UASI, SHSP, ect.) may be able to utilize those funds to pay for TEEX US&R courses. Since states have varying processes and procedures for utilizing grant funds to take US&R training, the best resource will be your city or county administrator or comptroller of homeland security grant funding.
