SUMMARY:OSHA Approved Active Shooter Training
DESCRIPTION:Active Shooter Prevention and Response Training for Long-Term Care — NO AVAILABILITY REMAINS \nDescription:  \nAn active shooter in the long-term setting is something no one wants to think about but preparation for this type of emergency is a must.  With the additional challenges for preparation and response in this environment\, the Active Shooter Prevention and Response for Long-Term Care training will explore pre-incident prevention and preparation\, during incident response and post incident planning and response specifically for long-term care settings. The training will provide tools and strategies from the individual employee and organizational levels.  The interactive training will include discussion of policy and procedure\, situational awareness\, communication of concerns\, Run/Hide/Fight alone and with residents\, working with law enforcement and preparedness requirements.  Engaging learning exercises and a multiple part tabletop exercise will provide opportunities to apply what they learn. \nObjectives:  \nAfter the training\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe their role in prevention and active shooter response.\nDescribe actions to take when confronted with an active shooter.\nIdentify strategies for interacting with law enforcement who are responding to an active shooter.\nDescribe how to manage the consequences of an active shooter event.\n\nTrainers:  \n\nBill Cochran – Custom Training Specialist at the Washburn Institute of Technology’s Public Safety Institute and Retired Chief of Police – Topeka\, Kansas\nStephanie Gfeller\, LACHA\, MS and Director of Professional Development and Leadership LeadingAge Kansas/OSHA Grant Project Coordinator\nTravis Bennett – Loss Control Consultant with Thomas McGee\, a division of Risk Strategies.\n\nWho should attend? \nThe virtual training is designed to provide all long-term care employees\, regardless of role\, knowledge and skills related to active shooter incidents. \nTo maximize the impact of the training and application in organizations\, we recommend attending as a group of at least four.  This might include safety committee members\, staff from various departments/roles/shifts and leadership. \nAll attendees will receive a personalized certificate of completion. Administrators\, operators and nurses licensed in Kansas will receive CE credit.  Missouri Administrators will receive 3.5 Administrators CEU’s (TA# 015-37-26) \nOrganizations that have five or more attending the training session will also be provided with an after action report documenting the completion of the active shooter tabletop exercise.

SUMMARY:Planetary Science - Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS) - Free Activity Event
DESCRIPTION:About EELS (Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor)\nEELS is designed to go places no one has ever seen before\, on its own\, without real-time human input. The concept for this self-propelled\, autonomous robot was inspired by the desire to descend the narrow\, geyser-spewing vents in the icy crust of Saturn’s moon Enceladus in order to look for signs of life in the ocean below. \n\nTalk Description: Our solar system is host to many ocean worlds – moons of Jupiter and Saturn\, among others\, that have liquid water oceans underneath crusts of ice. These worlds may hold clues to the origin of life on Earth\, and whether or not life may be unique or ubiquitous in the universe. At the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory\, we like to dare mighty things\, and we have built and tested a new robotic design capable of exploring the surfaces and icy depths of these ocean worlds. In this presentation\, Dr. Morgan Cable will summarize the development of the Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS)\, culminating in a field expedition to a glacier in Canada\, and discuss lessons learned along the way.\nSpeaker: Dr. Morgan Cable (NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory)\nSpeaker Bio: Dr. Morgan Cable is the Science Lead for the Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS) concept and Acting Principal Investigator of the Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry (PIXL) Instrument aboard the Mars 2020 (Perseverance) rover. She has worked on the Cassini Mission\, is a Co-Investigator of the Dragonfly mission to Titan\, and is serving multiple roles on Europa Clipper. Dr. Cable’s research focuses on organic and biomarker detection\, through both in situ and remote sensing techniques. She has designed receptor sites for the detection of bacterial spores\, the toughest form of life\, and developed novel protocols to analyze organic molecules using small\, portable microfluidic sensors. Currently\, Dr. Cable performs laboratory experiments to study the unique organic chemistry of Titan. She also conducts fieldwork in extreme environments on Earth\, searching for life in places such as the Atacama Desert\, ice fields at the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro\, fumarole-generated ice caves of the Mount Meager Volcano in Canada\, lava fields of Iceland\, and cold CO2 geysers of Green River\, Utah.\nWebEx Connection Info:\n\nJoin from the webinar link: https://nasaenterprise.webex.com/nasaenterprise/j.php?MTID=mf33642b7bd633e07b9ba0f190dfdb777\n\nYou may need to select the “join from your browser” option\n\n\nWebinar number (access code): 2829 939 1623\nWebinar password: KmsPKAt?765 (56775280 when dialing from a phone or video system)\nJoin by phone: +1-415-527-5035\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Planetary Defense - DART Mission - Free Activity Event
DESCRIPTION:DART: Double Asteroid Redirection Test—The First Planetary Defense Test Mission\nTalk Description: NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission was a groundbreaking planetary defense experiment designed to test if we could actually “nudge” an asteroid off course. Imagine a small spacecraft\, about the size of a golf cart\, deliberately crashing into an asteroid in space. That’s essentially what DART did! Its target was Dimorphos\, a small moonlet orbiting a larger asteroid named Didymos\, neither of which posed any threat to Earth. By intentionally smashing into Dimorphos at incredible speeds in September 2022\, DART successfully changed the moonlet’s orbital period around its larger companion by 33 minutes—far exceeding expectations. This historic impact proved that the “kinetic impactor” technique\, where a spacecraft directly collides with an asteroid\, is a viable method to potentially alter the trajectory of a hazardous asteroid\, giving us a vital tool in protecting our planet should a dangerous one ever be headed our way.\nSpeaker: Dr. Ramin Lolachi (NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center)\nSpeaker Bio: Dr. Ramin Lolachi is a planetary scientist working for the University of Maryland\, Baltimore Co. (UMBC) based at NASA’s Goddard Spaceflight Center. He was part of the DART Investigation Team and used images of the impact\, taken by the Italian Space Agency’s LICIACube spacecraft as it flew past\, to measure how much mass was ejected. His research interests include looking at dust on airless bodies like the Moon and asteroids (more interesting than you think!) and looking for water in the atmosphere of Mars.\nWebinar Connection Info:\n\nJoin the meeting now\nMeeting ID: 267 145 142 081 9\nPasscode: 4GU9Zu6T\nJoin by phone: +1-256-715-9946 (phone conference ID: 394 308 012#)\n\n\n\n
