Be Prepared
NTSB’s Transportation Disaster Assistance (TDA) Division can help your family assistance response community prepare and have an effective response plan in place following a transportation accident. Our specialists collaborate with representatives involved in family assistance operations from:
- local, state, tribal and federal government agencies;
- nongovernmental and private organizations; and
- transportation industry.
Our goal is to ensure key concepts of family assistance operations are understood and successfully implemented during exercises and responses involving NTSB investigations.
