Development of Emergency Operations, Continuity of Operations & Continuity of Government Plans

Aanko Technologies has developed a number of courses as part of its Homeland Security curricula to improve the abilities of communities to prevent, respond and recover from natural, technical and human event disasters, including terrorism. These courses provide training to public and private sector individuals charged with developing, coordinating and implementing prevention, response and recovery operations.

Development of Emergency Operations, Continuity of Operations & Continuity of Government Plans, is one of several taught by Aanko Technologies.

Course Summary

Effective coordination, integration, communications and planning among public and private sector agencies are critical to effective prevention, response and recovery from environmental, technical or human event disasters, including terrorism. Focus is on the special challenges faced by emergency planners or operations personnel in dealing with these incidents and on adapting existing incident management systems and procedures into new plan development.

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) guidance documents, including FEMA's State and Local Guide 101, Guide for All-Hazards Emergency Operations Planning, FEMA’s Managing The Emergency Consequences of Terrorist Incidents, Interim Planning Guide For State and Local Governments and the Tool Kit for Managing The Emergency Consequences of Terrorist Incidents are the foundational building blocks for this course.

The Course brings together emergency management personnel who may be required to prevent, manage, or react to disaster incidents within their organizations or communities. Participants may include fire services, law enforcement, emergency medical services, hazardous materials response, emergency planning, emergency communications, rescue, public health, public works agencies and private sector organizations.

Hands-on, small-group activities as well as realistic, multimedia scenarios gives individuals the chance to work together in multi-discipline teams while applying information presented in the course.

Our "active" approach takes groups through planning steps to ensure an "All Hazards" approach to EOP/COOP/COG development before, during and after emerging threat events.
