Course Description
MGT312 - Senior Officials Workshop (SOW) for All-Hazards Preparedness - 6.00 Hours
Prerequisites
NoneDescription
The Senior Officials Workshop is for local-jurisdiction elected and appointed senior officials. Its purpose is to provide a forum to discuss strategic- and executive-level issues related to disaster preparedness, share proven strategies and best practices, and enhance coordination among officials responsible for emergency response to a disaster.
Participants receive an Executive Handbook outlining the Emergency Management framework (protection, preparedness, response, and recovery phases) as well as other key senior-level issues and discussions topics. The handbook contains essential "desktop" resources including:
- The Quick Reference Guide to the National Response Plan (NRP)
- The Terrorism Incident Annex to the NRP
- An overview of the current DHS State Homeland Security Assessment and Strategy (SHSAS) process for obtaining equipment, training, exercises, and technical assistance as well as other Federal WMD preparedness assistance programs
- Descriptions of appropriate Federal-level training courses available to community emergency responders and mayor's incident management team
- A synopsis of Federal operational response capabilities
- The American Bar Association (ABA) Checklist for State and Local Attorneys
This workshop is typically delivered at a time and place determined by the requesting jurisdiction. Each workshop, including site and curriculum delivery costs, is fully funded by a training grant provided by DHS, Office of Grants and Training (G&T).
Topics
Major discussion threads include:
- Roles and responsibilities and preparedness challenges
- Domestic preparedness resources and how to leverage them for your community
- Homeland Security Strategic Planning as it relates to risk and needs assessment and the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for your jurisdiction
- Executive-level incident response and recovery considerations, including medical/public health, situational appraisal, incident management (ICS), mutual aid agreements, media relations, recovery and restoration processes, Federal assistance, and business/economic recovery
Audience
This workshop is intended for an audience of elected and appointed senior officials from a local jurisdiction, but may also include executives from other community entities, both public and private, that are likely to be involved in a disaster response. These include:
- Directors of local response agencies
