Homeland Security

Presented by American Emergency Preparedness

Best practices defined… 

In this dynamic eight-hour session AEP will define the needs of any communication center during a homeland security incident. Describing past successes and quality controlling past failures, we will engage in defining best practices. Our professional instructors will guide the attendees through the roles defined in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for Incident Command System (ICS)/National Incident Management System (NIMS). We will expose basics and fundamentals needed for any incident of this type. This workshop focuses on leadership and communication during preparation as well as during the incident itself. Our skilled instructors will guide the attendees through the planning and documentation process. We look to give these session attendees the skills and tools needed for all aspects of these dynamic incidents.
