preparedness and
technology curriculum
The Emergency Management Institute offers a
number of training activities that develop operational
capabilities and facilitate an effective response when an
emergency occurs. Much of this preparedness training
supports the requirements of chief executives and toplevel,
appointed emergency management officials.
Public officials are responsible for protecting the lives
and property of their constituents at all times. Yet, it is
the emergency management professional on whom
chief executives must depend for developing and
maintaining emergency response capabilities on a dayto-day
basis, as well as for providing sound advice and
proper resource support during a period of crisis. This
team relationship is critical for smooth, quick decision
making and coordination during a community
emergency. Preparedness courses provide both
orientation and insight into emergency responsibilities
including the development of emergency plans,
facilities, and appropriate public policies.
EMI offers courses that facilitate public policy
formulation, technical skill building, and effective
planning measures at Federal, State, local, and Tribal
levels of government. Such courses, seminars, and
workshops address preparedness issues including
continuity of operations, radiological preparedness,
and hazardous materials preparedness.
Some of the training is specific and technical, while
other topics are designed to stimulate proactive
policy-level decision making. The many resident
and non-resident training activities included in the
Preparedness and Technology Curriculum provide
specialized training and information needed by
Federal, State, local, and Tribal government staffs
and selected representatives from the private sector
(business and industry).
