Synopsis
The Department of Homeland Security Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Homeland Security National Training Program (HSNTP), National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC) provides funding to eligible applicants to develop and deliver training solutions to address specific national preparedness gaps related to the NDPC mission and ensure training is available and accessible to a nationwide audience.
The NDPC plays an important role in the National Training and Education System (NTES), which is part of the larger National Preparedness System (the System). The System is designed to build, sustain, and deliver the core capabilities and achieve the desired outcomes identified in the National Preparedness Goal (Goal). The Goal is "a secure and resilient nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk." The System provides a consistent and reliable approach to support decision making, resource allocation, and measure progress toward these outcomes. Previously developed courses are available for delivery at firstrespondertraining.gov.
