Course Description
Public services and public works play a vital role in disaster management. Public services safeguard communities and minimize the impacts of incidents. The mission of public works agencies across the country is to construct, maintain, and protect our Nation’s public infrastructure and facilities. Consequently, disaster management efforts need to be integrated between critical infrastructure, emergency management, and support personnel. Clear communication and coordination between utilities, transportation, fire, public safety, city planning/urban development, public health, and local, state, and federal emergency management officials ensure an effective and resilient response and recovery.
The Disaster Management for Public Services and Public Works course brings together representatives from public service and public works agencies who are expected to identify and mitigate hazards and plan and manage disaster response and recovery efforts within their jurisdictions. Participants work together in multidisciplinary teams to apply the course information with their professional experience in a variety of hands-on, small group activities, and disaster scenarios.
