EMYT 1127 Emergency Planning
Emergency Planning provides information that will enable persons entering the profession or expanding their roles to have the ability to assess their communitys hazards, determine community resources, and write an all-hazards plan to assign responsibility to various agencies who will respond during an emergency or disaster. The primary purpose of this course is to provide background information encouraging communities to plan, reasons for planning, who might be involved in the planning process, and a framework within which to plan. There will be ample opportunities for the student to practice each step of the process, gradually becoming familiar with the planning process. The principle topics include rationale for emergency planning; assessment of community hazards and resources; and development of an all-hazards plan.
