CDP course covers healthcare leadership for all-hazards response
Emergency Management Alert, December 18, 2007
Follow this link to find out about healthcare leadership instruction offered early next year through the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP). A four-day, 32-hour course, it's designed to help healthcare responders make realistic decisions during an all-hazards disaster.
The course is a combination of lectures and exercises that offers responders "a foundation on which to make critical decisions during the fast-paced final exercise," according to CDP. It includes lectures on decision-making in a disaster; incident command management-be it the National Incident Management System (NIMS), Hospital Incident Command System (HICS), or the Integrated Emergency Management System (IEMS); use of personal protective equipment (PPE); and decontamination procedures in a healthcare facility; and media/public information strategies.
