About COSS
The�Chemical
Operations Support Specialist (COSS)�will identify and provide critical
information to responders, key leaders, and decision-makers. The COSS will be a
state and local subject matter expert (SME) with the ability to bridge together
response and chemical knowledge in order to minimize the impact of a potential
or actual incident involving the release of hazardous chemicals.
About Chem KPF
The Key Planning Factors and Considerations for
Response to and Recovery from a Chemical Incident�can help
jurisdictions identify considerations that could substantially aid the recovery
process by decreasing recovery timelines and costs, improving public health and
safety and addressing major resource limitations and critical decisions
resulting from a chemical incident.

FEMA will host three, 60-minute webinars to discuss the draft
documents and answer related questions. The webinar is open to the whole
