Program Description
Personal accountability is one of the most important aspects of preparedness in ECC operations, even before a call for service is received. In a work environment that is never routine or mundane, preparing for the unexpected is impossible, or is it? With the right mindset, skills, knowledge, and abilities, successful preparation is achievable to meet the demands associated with this critical role. Adapting the 5 steps to emergency management this course will explore physical, emotional, and mental preparedness and how it correlates to work, home, and coping with some of the most difficult aspects of working in Public Safety. It will also examine emerging technologies and how they will impact workflows and provide data before the phone even rings.
