Program Description

Building Competency in Emergency Management: A Program to Develop the Next Generation of Emergency Leaders 

This multi-course program is designed to equip emerging emergency management professionals with the foundational knowledge, practical skills, and leadership competencies needed to guide organizations through all phases of an emergency. Through a structured progression of learning—from mitigation and planning, to response, to recovery and continuous improvement, participants will gain a full-spectrum understanding of effective emergency management.

• Course A – Risks & Plans introduces participants to the core principles of emergency management, including the four phases (Mitigation, Planning, Preparedness, Response, Recovery) and the fundamentals of the Incident Command System (ICS). Participants will identify and prioritize hazards, build threat matrices, and learn about plans aligned with community and organizational risks.
• Course B – Teaching & Training focuses on building an effective, trained, and coordinated workforce. Participants will learn and engage best practices for teaching, training, and exercising emergency plans, identifying capability gaps, and strengthening readiness through collaboration with partners and stakeholders.
• Course C – Activation, Recovery, & Beyond prepares participants for the complexities of real-world emergencies by exploring plan activation, operational coordination, data collection, and incident demobilization. Emphasis is placed on navigating recovery challenges, conducting after-action reviews, and cultivating leadership skills such as communication, decision-making, and effectively identifying problems, while supporting responder well-being, and updating plans and procedures based on the event.

Together, these three courses form a robust developmental pathway that empowers the next generation of emergency leaders to plan, respond effectively and guide their organizations toward resilience and long-term recovery. Those that attend all three courses will receive a Certificate of Program Completion
