Emergency Management Forum — National Preparedness Month

Develop a Training and Exercise Program to increase your operational capabilities to respond to all-hazard emergencies.

September is National Preparedness Month. Are you ready? With climate-driven natural disasters on the rise, organizations must be proactive in preparing to maintain business continuity in the face of any emergency.

A training and exercise program is a vital emergency preparedness activity that organizations should incorporate to test, evaluate, validate, and improve their emergency response capabilities.

Join us on September 20 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM (ET) as we explore situational examples, tips, and best practices related to natural disasters, human-caused threats, and technological disasters. 

During this webinar, participants will: 

• Review the National Preparedness Goal, and understand the five emergency mission areas and 32 core capabilities of Emergency Management.   

• Be provided an overview of the phases of Emergency Management, highlighting various emergency preparedness activities they can incorporate into their Emergency Management Program.  

• Understand the benefits of implementing a training and exercise program that follows the “crawl, walk, run” progressive approach.

• Review the NEW Emergency Training and Exercise Program Template that can be downloaded and modified to their specific environments and needs.
