Description: This workshop provides a forum for senior officials to understand strategic and executive- level issues related to all-hazard disaster preparedness, to share proven strategies and best practices, and to enhance coordination among whole of community officials responsible for emergency preparedness, response, and recovery. The workshop emphasizes planning, operational coordination and public information and warning through extensive group discussions and a table-top exercise. The outcome of the seminar is the development of an action plan to improve the preparedness posture of the community/organization. This class concludes with a Tabletop Exercise developed with concentration on a hurricane scenario to compliment/supplement Hurricane Preparedness Programs.
Workshop Topics:
