Project Description
Why Attend
Emergency response is an integral component of routine corporate and municipal management that, while directly influenced by diverse and long standing regulations at all levels of government, is also influenced by non-regulatory considerations that predate the infamous terrorism attacks of more recent history, including (a) obligations imposed by corporate insurance policies, (b) corporate and municipal stakeholder concerns over tort liability, and (c) the demands of both ad hoc and formal in-plant safety committees engendered by both regulatory and societal concerns over workplace health and safety. Overt and spectacular terrorists acts throughout the world over the past several decades, of course, have given particular public impetus to the importance of both emergency planning and emergency management practices.
Effective emergency response planning, whether for incidents that derive from natural causes or for those that derive from human actions, demands both persistent and consistent liaison and coordination among a large diversity of governmental agencies, response services, and community support resources.
The increasingly global recognition that any incident—whether a hurricane or a bombing, an accidental release of a toxic industrial gas or a purposeful contamination of items essential for daily commerce—can easily be magnified in its toll of human life by the very way we conduct our lives and structure our societies has profound implications for the emergency planning process. This course addresses some of the more important of these implications, especially with regard to industrial and municipal planning and response.
Course Objectives

- Know how to prepare, write and test emergency plans that are appropriate to the risk that your organisation is exposed to
- Learn how to identify hazards, investigate incidents and prepare a comprehensive hazard register
- Know how your organisation should respond to reports of an emergency situation
- Establish an incident command system and ensure your communication lines between your team and external support groups are perfect
- Ensure you have the right resources in the right place to deal with the identified hazards
- Test your emergency plans through simulated scenarios and experience the pressures in decision-making by taking part in an emergency response exercise
- Assess the arrangements you have in place for disaster recovery
