EMYT 1127 Emergency Planning (3-0-3)
This course provides information that will enable individuals entering the profession or expanding their roles to have the ability to assess their community’s hazards, determine community resources, and write all-hazards plans to assign responsibility to various agencies who will respond during emergencies or disasters. The primary purpose of this course is to provide background information encouraging communities to plan, reasons for planning, who might be involved in the planning process, and a framework within which to plan. Students will have ample opportunities to practice each step of the process, thus gradually becoming familiar with the planning process. The principle topics include rationale for emergency planning, assessment of community hazards and resources, and the development of all-hazards plans.
