G0393 – Mitigation for Emergency Managers
When: September 19-21, 2016 8:00am to 5:00pm
Participants are required to bring a copy of their community’s mitigation plan to class, if available. If the jurisdiction does not have a mitigation plan, or the plan is incomplete, the participant should bring the community’s hazard analysis or any other parts of the plan that may be completed. The course is designed to enable the non-technical emergency worker to acquire skills in the use of mitigation. It provides training in how to perform mitigation activities fundamental to reducing and eliminating long-term risk from hazards. It also addresses the important roles of the emergency program manager (or other local government representative) in mitigation: motivator, coordinator, and monitor in local implementation of the National Mitigation Strategy. This is a required course for the Advanced Professional Series (APS). Recommended prerequisite is IS-393.a Introduction to Hazard Mitigation.
