This course is designed to give participants an understanding of organizations that respond to emergency incidents. The course will explore the roles and functions of organizations that respond to emergencies and how they collaborate together to respond to incidents in the community. Participants will also compare and contrast the systems used by different organizations during an emergency to gain insight into their application during an incident. These may include incident management systems, incident command systems, and communication systems used to effectively respond to emergency situations. Participants will examine case studies of emergency response incidents and engage in other methodologies to aid in their understanding and enhance their participation in the course.
