a. Program Summary and Objectives: When presented with any state of emergency through terrorism, natural disasters or other events of significance within our communities…there is always the challenge. That challenge is to create a strong network of local, state and federal resources that can act quickly and effectively in response. In our August Live Response program, we look at the Western Community Policing Institute’s course, “The Leader’s Role in Creating Vigilant, Prepared and Resilient Communities.” We’ll bring together leading experts in Emergency Management to discuss ways to engage the community in all-hazards and anti-terrorism strategies. This DHS sponsored course offers participants interactive training by presenting real-life scenarios. Trainees work to identify community resources most vital in responding to a given event with special emphasis given to building partnerships through various agencies. The program also presents an implementation model to prepare an action plan and presents a process designed to identify what are commonly referred to as community resource gaps. A community that works together is one most likely prepared for future crises. Join us for an informative and interesting hour on our August Live Response.
Key Learning Objectives for this Program:
· Recognize Federal, state and local anti-terrorism and homeland security resources.
· Define the new and evolving roles and expectations of community leaders for homeland security.
· Identify community partners who will assist in identifying and addressing preparedness gaps.
· Use an implementation model to prepare an action plan.
· Evaluate methods to achieve identified goals for their jurisdiction.
