The Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration awarded a $1.286 million project grant to the International Association of Firefighters over a two-year period from October 2021 to September 2023. The grant funding supports the Supplemental Public Sector Training program, which is a train-the-trainer initiative conducted under the Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants program (CFDA 20.703).

Under this award, the International Association of Firefighters will facilitate instructor training courses to develop qualified trainers who can then deliver hazardous materials response training to public sector personnel with statutory responsibilities to respond to hazardous materials accidents and incidents. The goal is to increase effectiveness and safety in handling such emergencies by enhancing implementation of emergency planning standards, as outlined in the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness Grant program.
