Program Overview:

In today’s unpredictable world, emergency and crisis management have become paramount. It is not a matter of if, but when crisis will strike be it natural or man-made.

A well thought out emergency response and crisis management plan aims to reduce, control or
mitigate the effects of emergencies such as natural disasters, spills of hazardous materials, fires and explosions, and security threats.  While pre-planned emergency response is most effective for the immediate tackling of any predictable event, the unpredictable nature of crises, often from
unforeseen risks that could threaten the existence of the organization, means that a more creative style aligned with the organization’s values is required.

This course is designed to offer participants insights and strategies that will help them
navigate these challenging situations effectively.
