This course is for any professional in emergency management or anyone who is looking for a career in the profession. You could be asked to respond to questions about hazards that you may not normally encounter and about national level activities outside your community.
People expect that capability of professionals.
There are two parts to this course. One part is an orientation to the national assets coordinated by FEMA and the Federal role in disaster management. The other part is devoted to increasing our knowledge of a wider range of hazards. We have joined these two different topics in one course because they represent the broader field of emergency management. If you widen your professional outlook, you may become a more versatile emergency manager.
