E915 - Homeland Security

This Integrated Emergency Management Course focuses on preparing for and responding to the consequences of a terrorist act. This exercise-based course is conducted for two types of audiences. The participants in the "generic" audience represent various communities from throughout the country. The "specific" audience is made up of participants all from one community. The places public officials and other key community leaders in a disaster simulation. The course methodologies of classroom instruction, planning sessions, and exercises, allow for structured decision making in a learning, yet realistic, environment. In the Homeland Security, special attention is placed on the response among agencies when the disaster area is also a crime scene.

Participants are recruited via our national open enrollment system.
