MGT 417: Crisis Management for School-Based Incidents for Key Decision Makers

MGT 417 is a tuition-free, management-level, DHS/FEMA-certified course that provides operational-level details to support many of the topics covered in AWR148: Crisis Management for School-Based Incidents – Partnering Rural Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Local School Systems. Rural schools, law enforcement, other emergency responders, and community stakeholders are often limited in their access to resources, so it is imperative that all potentially affected parties collaborate in planning, preparation, communication, response, and recovery in the event of a school-based incident. Moreover, these affected parties must come together to practice their interoperable skills through drills and exercises to ensure the strategies in place provide for an effective crisis response and collaborative recovery. With the intent of building upon the foundation of AWR148 and utilizing an all-hazards approach, this two-day course will provide content instruction, develop concept-specific skills, and provide opportunities for law enforcement, school personnel, and community stakeholders to collaboratively apply the course objectives in scenario-based applications.

Topics include (but not limited to):
• All-Hazards Planning and Preparedness
• Vulnerability Assessments
• Threat Assessment Management
• All-Hazards Response
• All-Hazards Recovery
• Scenario-Based Activities

Who should attend:
• All First Responders, especially Law Enforcement
