Description 

This course prepares emergency response managers, community leaders, private sector, nongovernment organizations, and tribal leaders to conduct a comprehensive, capabilities-based threat and risk assessment for terrorism/all-hazards incidents under the National Response Framework (NRF), National Preparedness Guidelines and Homeland Security Presidential Directives. 

Participant activities focus on the jurisdictional process for determining ability to respond to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) and natural disaster events. Participants will identify shortfalls, perform gap analysis, and develop a needs assessment to fill shortfalls/gaps identified within the preparedness cycle. The course delivery combines lecture, small group discussions, participant activities, and multimedia scenarios to improve the multi disciplinary emergency teams' capability to prevent, protect, respond to, or recover from all-hazards mass casualty events.

About your instructor: What do the World Trade Center bombing, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the crash of TWA Flight 800 have in common? Andrew Wolf was there and saw the carnage first hand, as CNN's lead videographer. He now lectures on how we can be better prepared to detect, avoid and respond to mass casualty incidents. 

Course Fee: $99 Fee covers instruction, workbook, and, for educational purposes, we blow something up.
