SUMMARY:MGT-481: Disaster Recovery: A Strategic Overview of the Public Assistance Process
DESCRIPTION:Registration: https://teex.org/class/MGT481/ \nPOC: Kim Bouler\, 251-460-8036\, kbouler@mcema.net \nCourse Description \nThe Disaster Recovery for Senior Officials course provides a strategic overview of the FEMA Public Assistance Process that is essential to disaster recovery for local communities. The FEMA Public Assistance Process provides funding for local  governments and eligible Private Non-Profit organizations to conduct effective long-term recovery. Unfortunately\, many jurisdictions do not have a good understanding of this process and thereby fail to obtain\, and retain\, all the recovery revenue the community is eligible for. This course will provide senior leaders and staff planners with the key elements\, milestones\, and pitfalls to avoid when guiding a local jurisdictions recovery plans and operations.

SUMMARY:PER-211: Medical Management of Chem\, Bio\, Radiological\, Nuclear\, and Explosive Events
DESCRIPTION:Registration: https://teex.org/class/PER211/ \nCourse Description: \nWhat if a catastrophic event occurs? Will you be ready? Will you need a special level of protection? Is decontamination necessary? Do you have the right medications? \nPER 211\, Medical Management of Chemical\, Biological\, Radiological\, Nuclear and Explosives\, (CBRNE) Events answers these questions and more as you learn how to distinguish between different agents of concern that could be used in a major incident. \nThis course is a combination of facilitated discussions\, small-group exercises\, Human Patient Simulator hands-on scenarios\, and traditional classroom discussions. Exercises are conducted in a CBRNE scenario using both adult and pediatric Human Patient Simulators to reinforce classroom lectures and interaction. \nThis course promotes critical thinking skills while utilizing the RAPID-Care concept. The multi-discipline make-up of the participants helps to strengthen information sharing\, communications\, and medical surge capabilities. \n

SUMMARY:MGT-312: Senior Officials Workshop for All-Hazards Preparedness
DESCRIPTION:Registration: https://teex.org/class/MGT312/ \nPOC: esti@teex.tamu.edu or call (866) 878-8900 \nCourse Description: \nThis course provides a forum to discuss strategic and executive-level issues related to all-hazard disaster preparedness\, to share proven strategies and best practices\, and to enhance coordination among officials responsible for emergency response and recovery from a disaster. This workshop integrates a multimedia scenario and vignettes that highlight key issues and facilitates executive-level discussion of the United States’ National Strategy for Homeland Security. Additionally\, the forum provides an opportunity to apply lessons learned from past local and national all-hazards disasters. \nThis course includes seven distinct modules incorporating lecture\, discussion\, and a practical exercise. Each module focuses on a key component of disaster preparedness\, such as Culture of Preparedness\, Integrated Partnerships\, Organizing for Success\, Crisis Communications\, etc. Within the various modules are opportunities for group interaction and discussion. The final module of the course is designed to provide the participants the opportunity to develop an action plan or to-do list for follow-up consideration and action. \nThe practical exercise consists of an expanding incident\, designed specifically to address the local community’s needs or concerns. Participants are provided information and periodic updates\, after which they are given a list of questions to consider and discuss. Through these updates\, the incident builds upon itself until it reaches a mass casualty/catastrophic level\, thereby overwhelming the normal capabilities of the local jurisdiction and challenging the participants to consider their local policies\, resources\, and limitations. \nThis workshop provides a unique opportunity for local or regional executives to share strategies and coordinate plans for emergency preparedness and response. This workshop is an effective process for discussing executive-level issues with leaders from the agencies involved in all levels of the emergency management structure.
