Emergency Preparedness Training (Mandated) (FLEX #6003)
Thursday, January 7, 2016
8:30am – 12:30pm
Forum 110
All YCCD full time employees are required to take state, federal and emergency operations plan disaster training within one year of employment. If you have not taken this four-hour training, this is a great time to get it done. Take all four modules at once if you can. But, if you cannot stay for the full 4 hours, take what you can and we will work with you to make up the other modules.
This 4-hour training is one-time training. Training is offered once a year.
1st Module: SEMS Introduction (35 minutes): We will introduce all of the training at the beginning of this module and then provide the training on the California Standardized Emergency Management System. Learn how proactive California has been in preparing for and responding to disasters.
2nd Module: NIMS Introduction (40 minutes): This is the National Incident Management System, established after the tragic attacks on September 11, 2001. Learn how the nation has established a management tool for disasters planning, response and recovery.
3rd Module: ICS Introduction (90 minutes): The Incident Command System was established to manage an incident from planning to recovery. This is the language that police and fire departments use across the nation when responding to an incident. When we learn this language we will be able to interact better with first responders coming to assist us
4th Module: CEOP Orientation (75 minutes): Learn how you can now apply what you learned in the first three modules to our experience at the college and how you can better prepare yourself and your family from an “all hazards” approach.
No need to RSVP -- Just show up for training. Open to all YCCD full-time employees.
