SUMMARY:MGT-318: Public Information in an All-Hazards Incident
DESCRIPTION:Registration: https://teex.org/class/mgt318/ \nPOC: esti@teex.tamu.edu or call (866) 878-8900 \nCourse Description: \n\nThis course examines the role of public information in all-hazards incident management and provides practical training in crisis communication techniques. In a major incident\, it is imperative that community leaders\, incident managers\, and Public Information Officers (PIOs) are prepared to communicate with the public through traditional and social media. The course consists of three modules. \nThe first module reviews the topics of terrorism\, Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs)\, national response structures\, incident management\, and government and agency roles. Participants learn about the passing of information to the public in a WMD\, terrorism\, or other all-hazards incident and the function of joint information operations. \nThe second module covers issues unique to interacting with members of the media to help you build more effective relationships and avoid common mistakes when providing information to the press and public.  The module includes a mock press conference exercise in which the class is broken into groups to prepare for and conduct press conferences based on fictional WMD\, terrorism\, and all-hazards incident scenarios. These scenarios are taken from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Planning Scenarios. \nThe third module introduces the crisis communication life cycle and crisis communication planning. A six-phase cycle is discussed\, with public information objectives and key actions for managing each phase provided. Participants learn how to create a crisis communication plan and develop a crisis communication team to execute it.

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.
