Structure of the Training:
The Human Impact Preparedness Audit is spread over 2 days:
Day 1: Human Impact Preparedness training
Day 2: Crisis/Disaster Simulation and plan testing (optional)
ORI offers this course in a format designed to maximize learning and applicability. To that end, the training and the simulation are offered at different times.
Simulations (day 2) are scheduled 2 weeks following a training. The purpose is to provide participants with time to begin to apply the model to their organizations prior to participating in the simulation.
Participation in the simulation is limited to those who have completed the training and is optional. For those interested only in the simulation please contact us for scheduling a simulation exercise.
