The Department of Homeland Security launched a new Web-based compendium in November to provide state and local officials a single location to quickly and easily obtain detailed information on all terrorism training available from federal departments and agencies. The searchable Compendium of Federal Terrorism Training,  originally developed by the Army in 1998, has been updated and redesigned by FEMA's Emergency Management Institute.

Users can query the system for specific subject area, by department or agency, or alphabetically. They can also print out customized lists of training that meets specific requirements or even an entire database catalog. The compendium includes details such as course objectives, intended audience, how the training is delivered (in the field, at a training center, by distance learning) and how to enroll students or arrange for the training to be delivered in a particular jurisdiction.
