This module introduces the foundations of crisis management, including risk assessment, incident classification, and emergency planning. Participants will learn to identify potential threats, evaluate organisational vulnerabilities, and develop structured response plans. The focus is on understanding the dynamics of crises and preparing for effective intervention before, during, and after an emergency.
Module 2: Leadership in Emergency Response
Leadership under pressure is critical during emergencies. This module equips participants with techniques for leading teams in high-stress situations, maintaining clear communication, and making rapid, evidence-based decisions.
