All communities are vulnerable to a variety of hazards, including natural disasters, chemical spills, mass shootings, multi-vehicle crashes, and missing persons. Emergency management provides a structure for anticipating and dealing with critical and emergency incidents. Effective management of these critical incidents often involves participation from many levels of government, cooperation with other jurisdictions and agencies, and assistance from the private sector. The student will evaluate the fundamentals of emergency and critical incident management including planning, leadership, problem solving, decision-making, communication, and utilization of community volunteers.
