Emergency Response to Crisis
Situations
Domestic Preparedness & Response for First Responders
(ODP approved ICS / WMD Instructors)
This course will be modified to the
level of expertise in the audience and can be adapted in the classroom for
multiple levels of experience and understanding.
Training Goals and Objectives
The goal of this course is to
introduce the student to the history and development of emergency
management and incident command. Further, to prepare the student to manage
the various operational objectives of emergency management from a first
responder or first line supervisor’s perspective. Additionally, it is the
goal of this course to expose the student to various scenarios and
identified threats taken from current events and explore courses of action
and the various impacts from those decisions.
The course will be directed at a
multi agency/multi disciplinary approach to crisis management. Several
areas will be addressed; each area by it self is an area of expertise
requiring detailed individual course instruction.
Training Audience, Format and
Content
This is an advanced skill
development course designed for the first responder or first line
supervisor, currently involved in public safety activities
This course is most successful when
taught and received with audiences of 30 officers or fewer, but has been
given in groups of 100 or more with successful reviews. The smaller
groups enable officers to have more direct dialog & contact with the
instructors and the other students.
The course is designed in 3 day
sessions with each day involving the exploration of a different topic and
the reinforcement of previous learned material. The course is generally
designed to run from 0800 to 1600 hours daily, but can be manipulated for
evenings and extended days as needed.
