The Disaster Management for Public Services course provides a unique opportunity for public service professionals to extend the knowledge and skills necessary for protecting their communities and infrastructure from potential or actual threats. During the course, participants work together in multidisciplinary teams to apply the course information with their professional experience in a variety of hands-on, small group activities and disaster scenarios. This course brings together emergency management personnel who are expected to identify and mitigate hazards and plan and manage disaster response and recovery efforts within their jurisdictions. The course introduces natural and human-caused disasters to which public services may be vulnerable. The course also explains emergency planning and management and the regulatory systems, documents, and directives that guide disaster response. Response factors, such as hazard control zones, resources, and responder safety are also discussed. Recovery considerations, such as funding assistance and demobilization, are also explained.
