This five-day intensive training course empowers professionals to define, develop, and implement robust emergency planning frameworks that can stand up to even the most complex crises. Designed for both national and international contexts, the course explores how to construct, test, and evaluate disaster preparedness strategies for hazards ranging from natural disasters and industrial accidents to pandemics and terrorist incidents.
Participants will engage in hands-on exercises to build contingency plans, disaster recovery frameworks, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). You’ll explore how to engage stakeholders, strengthen institutional capabilities, and assess vulnerabilities across diverse sectors. Led by a globally renowned expert with decades of experience, the course blends rigorous academic insight with real-world application.
