The CDP began operations in June 1998 as the only all-hazards training center, offering training on Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) weapons.

The training, provided at the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP), is guided by the definitions and competencies provided within the National Response Framework (NRF), Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP), Radiological Assistance Program (RAP), Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC), and other radiological agencies and departments.
