NERRTC's mission is to design, develop, and deliver training, exercises, and technical assistance for the nation's emergency responders. NERRTC combines traditional classroom work, small group instruction, field exercises, participant activities, case studies and vignettes, multimedia scenarios, and computer-aided training and exercise simulations to train individuals and jurisdictions.
NERRTC is a center of excellence within the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), one of the largest providers of workforce training in the nation since 1919.
