Fleming College

Management is continuously evolving to meet the needs of a changing world. This course provides students with an historical context for the Emergency Management profession based on research and lessons learned, while instilling a solid understanding of how emergency management governance, legislation and best practices have shaped the current emergency planning process. Students will incorporate their knowledge of previous events, governance, legislation and best practices into a practical application of contemporary emergency management planning.

Emergency Management and Business Continuity professionals require strong project management skills to keep their projects on track. From initial risk assessments, to writing a plan and developing a comprehensive program, this course provides the knowledge, skills and abilities required to develop a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) aligned to Project Management best practices.

Emergency Management programs in the public and private sectors are based on five overlapping and interdependent components: prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. This course introduces students to these components in order to develop the knowledge required to build and sustain a comprehensive emergency management program to address the hazards that may threaten the safety or viability of communities and organizations. Students will explore models of Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) and their practical applications, with a focus on identifying and exploring strategies to prevent, mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and planned events.

Students will review the fundamental concepts and structure of emergency management in Canada, and explore the framework, principles, and components involved in effectively managing emergencies or disasters in a government, community agency, industry, or business context. At The Loomex Group site, students will engage in experiential exercises for Incident Site Management Systems for command, control, and coordination of response at an emergency site. This course is intended to enhance understanding of the Incident Command System (ICS), its organization, principles, basic structure, and common responsibilities.

Pre-Requisites

• The Components of Emergency Management (ESRV 96)
• Introduction to Emergency Management (ESRV 95)

Students will explore an overview of the psychosocial needs of emergency management personnel and communities before, during, and after disasters, as well as strategies and resources to support psychosocial resilience (e.g., self-care, worker care). This course also discusses stress responses, supporting vulnerable populations, resilience toolkits, and risk and resiliency factors. Students will develop confidence in crisis communications and media relations while strengthening their communication skills in report writing, presentation delivery, and public speaking. Students will make meaningful connections to the work they are doing and explore how diversity, equity, and inclusion are important, the benefits and applicability to your workplace, and how you can champion and advance this important work. This course includes the concepts of Intersectionality, Power and Privilege and the concepts of a formal multi-year exercise program, the exercise program management team, the five-phase exercise design model and the exercise design team.

Pre-Requisites

• The Components of Emergency Management (ESRV 96)
• Introduction to Emergency Management (ESRV 95)

Students will have the opportunity to develop and facilitate the operation of an Emergency Response or Business Continuity plan in collaboration with an existing public or private organization (e.g., municipalities, government ministries, or Indigenous Community). Students will learn about the potential community impact of disasters and the primary components involved in disaster recovery. The purpose and role of Community Recovery Organizations are explored, and learners are introduced to a process for the development of an effective Disaster Recovery Plan. Participants will explore components of community recovery, steps for recovery planning, structure and function of a recovery organization, roles and responsibilities, interconnectivity of impacts and the rationale and benefits of recovery planning.

Pre-Requisites

• Project Management and Business Continuity Fundamentals (ESRV 97)

Building on Project Management and Business Continuity Fundamentals, students will use strategies that incorporate crisis response, recovery, training, and testing in alignment with the business continuity principles and practices. This course provides a hands-on, practical learning experience for students to develop and build a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan (BCP) suitable for a wide range of public and/or private organizations. Students will develop and implement comprehensive sustainability programs for private and public organizations to ensure resilience, and will apply their knowledge of planning, preparedness, and recovery strategies while participating in a practical exercise design project in response to a private sector business disruption scenario. To highlight the importance of continuous improvement, students will complete an After-Action Report illustrating lessons learned, areas of strength, and areas in need of improvement in the Crisis Response Centre.

Pre-Requisites

• Integrated Emergency Management and Business Leadership (ESRV 100)

This culminating final project provides students with an opportunity to make real-world connections between what they have learned and this growing and dynamic profession. This course challenges students to complete a complex, multi-faceted project based on their accumulation of knowledge, skills, and abilities gained throughout their participation in the program. Students will have the opportunity to develop and facilitate the operation of an Emergency Response or Business Continuity plan in collaboration with an existing public or private organization (e.g. municipalities, government ministries, Indigenous communities, and businesses large or small). Program faculty will act as a resource to students in order to provide guidance and assistance throughout all phases of the final project.

Pre-Requisites

• Emergency Operations and Crisis Response Centers (ESRV 99)
• Essential Skills for Emergency Management and Business Continuity (ESRV 98)

Course topics include facility design, layout, procedures, and roles and responsibilities including the provincial standard Incident Management System (IMS). As a practical component, students will design, facilitate and evaluate a tabletop exercise based on organizational requirements and the components of Emergency Management. This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to develop and implement comprehensive exercise designs. Students will prepare for full field multi-agency scenarios by creating and conducting simple drills and tabletop exercises designed to test the response to emergencies and/or planned events. To highlight the importance of continuous improvement, students will complete an After-Action Report illustrating lessons learned, areas of strength, and areas in need of improvement in the Emergency Operation Centre.
