University of Pittsburgh and The Forum on Education Abroad are pleased to invite members of our international education community to a day of training with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

Participants in this dual-format (in-person and online) workshop will:

  • Familiarize themselves with the support resources available from NTSB and other federal agencies when a transportation accident or event involves their students, faculty or staff
  • Understand where jurisdiction lies for U.S. agencies in traffic and transportation incidents happening abroad
  • Learn best practices for supporting victims and their families in the immediate and long-term aftermath of transportation incidents
  • Identify action steps for connecting with regional and local resources and preparing a crisis response plan so that they can be prepared in case a transportation or traffic accident or incident ever befalls a member of their community.
