All Hazards: Recovery and Mitigation
This exercise-based course emphasizing recovery
and mitigation is new in the IEMC curriculum. It is similar to the
IEMC All Hazards: 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
All Hazards: 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 severe weather and
related flooding. Mitigation activities to prevent or reduce the
future impact of a similar disaster also are identified during the
mitigation exercise.
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 All Hazards: Preparedness and Response and the
All Hazards: Recovery and Mitigation, in consecutive, back-to-back,
offerings.
