A properly trained first responder community is critical to the successful commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cell applications. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and the California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP) have developed programs to educate first responders about hydrogen, hydrogen fuel cell applications, hydrogen transportation, and fueling infrastructure. PNNL and CaFCP have assembled materials from both an awareness-level on-line course and an operations-level instructor-led course into a national program for emergency response to hydrogen-related emergencies, which will be made available to other training organizations. This session will describe the program materials and explain how other organizations can access them.
