Emergency planning is an extensive field; therisks to communities are considerable and the hazards diverse. It is recognized that a single “ideal” plan appropriate for every locality does not exist. Plans may vary significantly with regard to geographic location, population make-up and dispersal, the form of intergovernmental relationships among localities, types of industry in the area, culture of the public, as well as the degree of local concern and support for the concept of emergency planning.

At the end of the training, delegates will:
•
Learn the elements which are commonly encountered in an Emergency - What can go right and what can go wrong?
•
Become familiar with the discharge of corporate responsibilities and the execution of decision making between all your stakeholders.
•
Understand the need for coordinated planning, training, exercising and team development
•
Develop an in-depth knowledge of Crisis Communications and the appropriate roles and responsibilities

The training is designed for those whose actions and decisions have critical implications for their organization and those who wish to further develop their strategic communication and leadership capabilities. In most organizations this emergency response and strategy process extends to all managers, shift superintendents and team leaders.

This interactive training/workshop provides intense learning opportunities provided through wide ranging discussions, presentations, related videos, workshops, etc. The course characterizes sustained interest, enthusiasm and participation displayed by the participants throughout the program.
