BRIDGTON — Two Bridgton Hospital employees and emergency responders, Krista L. Marceau and Donna Durgin, recently completed Homeland Security training at the Center for Domestic Preparedness in Anniston, Ala.
The center is operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and is the only federally-chartered weapons of mass destruction training facility in the United States.
Durgin and Marceau completed “Fundamentals of Healthcare Emergency Management.” Both plan to attend more training in the future.
Responders attending the training are selected from the nation’s 11 million emergency responders. Training at the center ensures that responders gain critical skills and confidence to be better prepared to effectively respond to local incidents or potential incidents.
