Course Overview
Good emergency and crisis planning aim to reduce, control or mitigate the effects of emergencies such as natural disasters, spills of hazardous materials, fires and explosions, and security threats. While pre-planned emergency response is most effective for the immediate tackling of any predictable event, the unpredictable nature of crises, often from unforeseen risks that could threaten the existence of the organization, means that a more creative style aligned with the organization’s values is required.
The aim of this training course is to provide participants with the necessary knowledge and tools to create or benchmark their emergency preparedness and response plans. The course includes case as well as a table-top exercise in emergency response.
