purpose
This course was created by field proven, emergency management subject matter experts. It was designed to push you into innovation, broaden your understanding, and test your ability to lead in a disaster.
Emergency Management Response for Dynamic Populations dives deep into organizational style emergency management, also referred to as ‘civilian military operations’ by the Department of Defense. As such, you are responsible for coordinating strategic actions during the most complex style of emergency management response.
You will address the protection of life, property, and continuity of operations as an organizational representative, rather than a government representative with the legal authorities to act. This course will induce the stress of decision making and coordination. You will return to your organization as an enhanced, ‘Next Level,” emergency manager.
the real deal.
