Course description

This 10-day course is a capabilities-based planning course that uses strategic planning models to collect and analyze planning elements and leadership behaviors in terms of risk and hazard evaluation, and a project management model to track resource allocation and project capability gaps. Strategic elements are presented in case-study context. Project management uses concepts of community risk reduction and preparedness to increase individual and group capabilities to manage critical tasks successfully. At the conclusion of this course, attendees will be able to apply planning and project management processes to plan for and implement programs in support of completing their organizational priorities and objectives.

Note: Pre-course reading and activities are required.
