professional Development
FEMA’s Professional Development curriculum
addresses skills and abilities required by the
emergency management professional in today’s
complex environment. Whether dealing with natural
hazards, technological hazards, or national security
hazards, the emergency manager must be prepared
to exercise a leadership role that extends far beyond
his or her own department.
The field of emergency management is emerging
into higher visibility in communities throughout
the Nation as they are victimized by disasters that are
increasingly severe and more numerous. With this
comes greater responsibilities for the emergency
managers, and likewise for the trainers who guide
them in developing the skills to deal with disasters.
managing people in Disasters: a local
perspective (g249)
This 3-day course is aimed at preparing participants
to step in to manage and supervise in chaotic and
stressful crisis situations. The package of skills offered
in this course should enable an emergency manager
to shift from managing a normal office environment
to supervising an expanded staff in rapidly changing
conditions. Major topics include communicating,
community relationships, leadership, managing
staff, teams, and managing the work.
Selection Criteria: Anyone who performs emergency
management work. This course applies many of
the basic skills of the Professional Development
Series within a disaster context, and thus offers the
possibility of being given as a Capstone experience
or offered as refresher modules at conferences and
other functions.
Prerequisites:
Recommended: IS 240, Leadership and Influence, IS 241,
Decision Making and Problem Solving, and IS 242, Effective
Communication.
