All Hazard Training: A Division of Early Alert

Emergency Management

Emergency Management and Disaster Coordination All communities are vulnerable to a variety of hazards. Emergency management provides a structure for anticipating and dealing with emergency incidents. Emergency management involves participants at all governmental levels and in the private sector. Activities are geared according to phases before, during, and after emergency events. The effectiveness of emergency management rests on a network of relationships among partners in the system. This course examines specific parts of the emergency manager�s job within the four phases of emergency management: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.

The goal of this course is to introduce you to the fundamentals of emergency management as an integrated system, surveying how the resources and capabilities of all functions at all levels can be networked together in all phases for all hazards including coordinating plans of the various components of the emergency management system�fire and police, emergency medical services, public works, volunteers, and other groups contributing to the community�s management of emergencies.
Integrated Emergency Management Course (IEMC) - All Hazards: Preparedness and Response Recent disasters illustrate the need to have disaster preparedness and response plans to provide continuity for a successful recovery. This addresses preparedness and response in emergency situations resulting from man-made and natural disasters. This exercise-based course is designed for both public and private industry. The IEMC places public officials and other key community leaders in a disaster simulation. The course consists of classroom instruction and planning sessions, and exercises allow for structured decision-making in a learning environment that will simulate realistic events.

The course is designed to help you identify and build response and recovery teams. The course focuses on the roles and responsibilities of each team member, and provides guidance on developing a local disaster recovery plan. Best practices in disaster preparedness and response are discussed. Key emergency management components covered are:
- Defining Disasters and Emergencies
- What is Emergency Management
- Emergency Operations Center "101"
- EOC/ICS interface
- Emergency Support Functions (ESFs)
- Risk and Damage Assessment
