The “Guidelines”

The Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP) is a federal agency under the direction of the Department of

Homeland Security. Part of their responsibility is to establish federal guidelines and national standards for the levels of responders at terrorism incidents. ODP

has established a set of performance objectives called “Guidelines” These guidelines are intended to be met throughout the course much the same way that OHSA

and NFPA establish performance objectives for successful completion of those courses.
