About
This Course
Emergency Preparedness for Facilities
provides you with strategic resources to prepare for, and recover
from, any emergency or disaster. This course will help you create,
or improve, your organization-wide emergency management plan to
ensure all procedures are in place and all equipment and personnel
needs are addressed so you can respond to an emergency situation
quickly and instinctively. These performance processes are becoming
more important, and may eventually be recognized (or mandated)
by the federal government.
Government facilities are not yet where it needs
to be to properly handle a crisis - whether it be a terrorist
attack or natural disaster. Not knowing how to protect your most
vital buildings and systems -- and your employees -- should be
your number one priority. Attend this very important seminar to
protect your most important assets.
You'll also receive handouts which will provide
you with a take-home, strategic "guide" to help you
in your emergency planning.
What You Will Learn
- How to create or improve your emergency management
plan
- Detailed instructions on what to do if faced
with an emergency
- How to train staff to react to any emergency
situation
- How to communicate a crisis to your staff,
customers, and the media
- What regulations you need to comply with to
keep your facility and staff safe
- How to improve conditions at your facility
to mitigate disasters, acts of violence, and terrorism
- What aid may be available to your organization
Who
Should Attend
- Base and civil engineers
- Federal, state and local "first responders"
- U.S. Civil agencies, government building/facilities
managers, and companies with critical infrastructure to be protected
- Security infrastructure executives
- Anyone involved in law enforcement, fire fighting,
and emergency medical services
- Security professionals and emergency management
team leaders
