We are hosting a weekend of RDPC (Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium) courses:AWR 328 All Hazards Preparedness for Animals in Disasters
MGT 448 All Hazards Planning for Animal, Agriculture and Food Related Disasters
These 8-hour, tuition-free, DHS/FEMA-certified courses will provide tools to protect, respond to, and recover from the consequences of disasters e.g. fire, flood, heat, earthquake, tornadoes, hurricanes, hazardous materials and catastrophic disease exposure involving animals/livestock in rural communities.
AWR 328 will introduce to the unique issues that must be considered and addressed when animals are involved in an emergency such as safe animal handling, animal evacuation, animal sheltering, humane euthanasia and carcass disposal, inclusion of animal management into existing ICS structures, federal support available during recovery, and unique considerations for conducting jurisdictional assessments and mapping evacuation routes.
MGT 448 is a management-level course providing the background information needed to lead a multi-agency team of emergency planners in the development of an Emergency Support Functions (ESF) annex for food and/or animal-related disasters to supplement their community’s existing Emergency Operation Plans (EOP), addressing topics such as agroterrorism, detection and diagnosis, unique challenges that rural communities face in planning for and responding to food and/or animal-related disasters, utilization of ESF, recovery and the importance of sustainable operations during a disaster event, and mapping a community to identify areas of vulnerability and resources.
All content will be presented in (2) all-day instructor-led trainings that will include presentations and problem-solving activities that will be completed in small groups.
