CoRE and HSEEP Programs

To acheive liaison compliance, it is necessary for pipeline and local distribution operators to interact with first responders and other officials in specific ways. The CoRE exercise was designed to enhance the current approach to pre-planning.

  • CoRE's primary objective is bringing together pipeline operators and first responders to pre-plan for pipeline emergency response.
  • Each meeting will utilize a local pipeline incident scenario to exchange resources and capabilities of all included.
  • The CoRE Program engages first responders through interaction with pipeline representatives. Investing time in a CoRE training is the best way to learn pipeline response.

First Responder CoRE Comments:

  • "Interacted with other agencies in a constructed manner. Really enjoyed the program and learned practical processes instead of just sitting and listening. Awesome job!"

    - Deputy U.S. Marshal

  • "Very good program! I think this is the first step in planning potential responses in the future."

    - Fire Division Chief

  • "The training was informative. I was unaware of the information discussed."

    - Emergency Manager
