Hurricane: Recovery and Mitigation
This IEMC with emphasis on recovery and mitigation
issues is another addition to the IEMC curriculum. It is similar
to the IEMC Hurricane: Preparedness and Response course in its format
but emphasizes recovery and mitigation activities. This course is
conducted for two types of audiences. The participants in the “generic”
audience offering represent various communities throughout the country.
This IEMC also may be offered to communities who have previously
participated in a “specific” community IEMC. The IEMC
Hurricane: Recovery and Mitigation places public officials and other
key community leaders in a simulation that begins after a disaster
has affected a community. The course sessions and exercises allow
for structured decisionmaking in a learning environment that is
nonetheless realistic. A key outcome of this IEMC is to provide
participants with the ability to carry out their respective functions
related to disaster recovery, in both the short-term and the long-term.
The exercise scenario focuses on recovery from a hurricane disaster.
Mitigation activities to prevent or reduce the future impact of
a hurricane are also are identified during the course exercises.
Except for courses reserved for specific communities,
participants are recruited via our National Open Enrollment System.
Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) are available
for this course (2.5).
NOTE: Participants are encouraged to
enroll in both the Hurricane: Preparedness and Response and the
Hurricane: Recovery and Mitigation, in consecutive, back-to-back,
offerings.
