CDCynergy: Emergency Risk Communication Edition (ERC-Direct Users)

This comprehensive course combines the highlights of all the emergency risk communication courses offered. This is an intense 4-day course that is designed for those who need extensive training in emergency risk communication for themselves, but do not intend to train others.

This course includes the following:

• The full Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication (CERC) course;
• An Emergency Risk Communication Media Training that provides many of the highlights of the Facing the Media Training, but may not provide the individualized on-camera experience provided by the longer media training course (note: on-camera training will depend on the number of participants); and
• An Emergency Risk Communication CDCynergy User Training that is designed to teach participants the effective use of this interactive training tool and job aid. This training does not provide information on how to train others to use the tool.

The CERC, CDCynergy: ERC-Direct users, and CDCynergy: ERC-TTT all meet Focus Area F requirements.
